Fertility service providers are also seeking to go regional in anticipation of future demand
GOVERNMENT support to boost low birth rates and growing awareness of fertility services are supporting increased demand for in-vitro fertilisation (IVF) and related treatments, both in Singapore and across South-east Asia.
Private healthcare providers are finding opportunities to expand organically and through acquisitions, and to work with governments on raising national birth rates.
Listed healthcare company Thomson Medical Group, which has a long association with obstetrics, gynaecology and paediatrics, views fertility services as a particular bright spot.
