Clinical excellence and multidisciplinary care enable parenthood after severe male factor infertility
Abu Dhabi, UAE,July 2026 – SEHA, a subsidiary of PureHealth, the largest healthcare group in the Middle East, has announced the successful management of a complex case of severe male factor infertility at SEHA’s Tawam Fertility Centre, resulting in the birth of three healthy boys following two treatment cycles.
An Emirati couple presented to SEHA’s Tawam Fertility Centre with a four-year history of primary infertility attributed to severe male factor infertility, confirmed through repeated semen analyses. Following comprehensive clinical evaluation, the husband underwent successful surgical sperm retrieval performed by the centre’s specialised urology team as part of its structured male infertility programme. In 2017, the couple completed an Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) cycle at Tawam Fertility Centre. Two high-quality embryos were transferred, resulting in a successful pregnancy and the birth of healthy twin boys. In 2023, the couple returned to SEHA’s Tawam Fertility Centre to pursue a second treatment cycle, which led to another successful pregnancy and the birth of a healthy baby boy.
This case demonstrates how advanced reproductive technologies, combined with a coordinated multidisciplinary approach, can offer effective solutions even in severe male infertility cases. SEHA’s Tawam Fertility Centre follows an integrated clinical model that brings together urology, reproductive endocrinology, genetics, andrology, and psychological support services to ensure comprehensive patient care.
Dr. Fathiya Al Faheem, Consultant in Reproductive Medicine at SEHA’s Tawam Fertility Centre, said: “This case reflects the strength of a truly integrated fertility care model. Severe male factor infertility can be clinically challenging, but with structured evaluation, advanced surgical sperm retrieval techniques, and precision ICSI, we are able to offer realistic and evidence-based pathways to parenthood. At SEHA’s Tawam Fertility Centre, our multidisciplinary collaboration ensures that couples receive comprehensive, personalised care to help transform years of uncertainty into measurable clinical success.”
With more than 34 years of experience, SEHA’s Tawam Fertility Centre is the first fertility centre established in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi and remains one of the few facilities in the region providing comprehensive male infertility services under one roof. As part of SEHA Fertility Care, the Centre continues to build trust through measurable clinical outcomes, personalised treatment pathways, and patient-centred care.
This success also underscores the importance of prioritising male reproductive health, an area that is often under-recognised, through early diagnosis, advanced intervention, and holistic support. By combining surgical expertise with advanced ICSI technology, Tawam Fertility Centre reinforces SEHA’s commitment to delivering specialised, high-quality reproductive care and supporting families throughout their fertility journey.
