bg 21 conceive ivf clinic

As I sit here penning this message I can’t help but look back at how far this conception, we named ‘Conceive’ has come! Dr. Pankaj Shrivastav is a name which is given much respect and regard in not just the country but even globally and when he set out in 2004 to establish Conceive, it was his well-wishers who gave him strength to do so. Today, 10 years later, Conceive has been responsible for the birth of over 2700 babies and we, the team, know we owe it all to our well-wishers and supporters whose faith in us has been unwavering and resilient. Exciting times lie ahead as the Conceive family grows into a new branch in Jumeirah Lake Towers (JLT) Dubai and of course our first (of many I hope) newsletter! Read on to see what our doctors are up-to and exciting research that is happening on a daily basis at Conceive. You’ll hear from us again in the New Year and till then we wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a prosperity filled 2015!

Life at the Conceive forefront

Rana Allababidi manages the front desk of Conceive Hospital (SHJ) andhas been doing so for two years now. She takes us through how her job differs from that in any other institution.

Whilst her main job does involve attending to phone calls, giving patient appointments and answering their queries there is more to this job role. Infertility is a tough ordeal for almost everybody who is diagnosed with it and Rana finds herself more often than not having to go beyond being a receptionist. She often finds herself having to be that friendly voice over the phone who is willing to listen to the patients’ sorrows. She becomes their support and confidant. She finds it’s always helps in making a difference to the patients and destresses them as they open up about their difficulties, challenges and heartbreaks.

Rana finds that knowing what it’s like to be a mother and having been blessed enough to have four children is what enables her to demonstrate this kind of empathy and compassion for those who are struggling to build their families. She works hard to develop and maintain the bond of trust between herself and the patient. Being spiritual and religious she tries to uplift patient moods and guide them through some of their toughest moments on their journey to parenthood …

The Conceive Incubator

bg 21 conceive ivf clinic

What a whirlwind the last 45 days have been. Each and every minute of my time and effort has gone into planning the Conceive JLT launch event. May 5th 2015 dawned and naturally I was a nervous wreck as all aspects of the launch came together and culminated into the 3 hours of the event. And what a 3 hours those were!

The Conceive JLT clinic had a thundering reception and was celebrated with much pomp and splendor. The clinic was inaugurated by His Highness Shaikh Saaed Maktoum Juma Al Maktoum and by Ahmed Bin Sulayem, Executive Chairman of DMCC. We also had the privilege of having Mr Tayyeb Baker, CEO & Founder of ANC Holdings LLC and Dr. Mariam Matar, Founder & Chairperson of UAE Genetic Diseases Association. As early as 10:30am saw family, friends and patients pouring into the clinic and many stayed till well past 2pm. Anna Pavlova’s violin provided beautiful melody and the canapés from Circle K café were quickly devoured by all. The event was abuzz with the warmth and love that were showered upon us from all corners and quarters and has left us truly humbled and overwhelmed.

Thank you everyone! I know it sounds a bit repetitive but the truth is without you, we would not be here today and on behalf of Dr. Pankaj Shrivastav and the entire Conceive team I’d like to tell you that we will strive to provide you with the best care we possibly and can will eternally uphold our guiding mantra – Let’s make you a family !

Cheers to new beginnings ☺
