Concept Fertility Centre

Concept Fertility Centre

Introduction of Australian IVF Technology in Pakistan has helped hundreds of Couples to have a baby and make their dream a reality. Owner operator of the Concept Fertility Centre in Pakistan, (The only state of the art International IVF centre in Pakistan), Dr Kiran Shahid, a specialist family physician and her husband Shahid Shakur, a Barrister & Solicitor, living in Perth, Western Australia, since 1989, inspired Dr Bruce Bellinge to bring his expertise in human reproductive technology to Pakistan. They jointly, from their own capital, established the Concept Fertility Centre in Karachi, Pakistan. Dr Bruce Bellinge, researching the early fetal development of domestic farm animals in the UK in the mid-1970s, had little idea of the part he would play in bringing joy to hundreds of families not only in Australia but overseas as well. Fascinated by the reproductive working of larger mammals, Dr Bellinge eventually moved into a form of human reproductive technology that was so new and so revolutionary that many dismissed it as an impossible dream. He recently noted when we first started doing IVF, there was quite a lot of suspicion about this new form of technology, Dr Bellinge said; “it was an area of science that a lot of people thought was pushing the boundaries just a little too far. The success rates were so very low back in 1981 and 1982 that people felt this was not a very viable type of technology”. Unfazed by the opposition, Dr Bellinge and his colleagues pushed on, excited by the possibilities of in-vitro fertilization. On his return home, he opened Australia’s first private IVF laboratory in 1982 at the Avro Hospital in Subiaco, Western Australia, treating young couples desperate to have their first child.
