Dubai’s total fertility rate
in 2016 at 5.2 for nationals
and 1.7 for non-national
women
(Dubai) -
The latest statistical
report released by Dubai
Health Authority (DHA) notes
the steadily booming
population of Dubai,
considered the UAE’s largest
and most populous emirate.
According to the DHA report
entitled ‘Dubai Annual
Health Statistical Report
2016,’ in 2016, the total
fertility rate (TFR), or the
average number of children a
woman would have during her
reproductive years, in the
emirate was 5.2 per woman
for nationals - which
correlates with the
emirate’s goals –
and 1.7 for non-national
women. A total of 31,887
live births were recorded in
Dubai during the same
period, making a Crude Birth
Rate (CBR) of 12.4 per 1,000
population.
According to
UAE-based, IVI
Middle East Fertility Clinic,
there are various
fundamental factors
that can be
attributed to the steady
population increase. Among
these, it said, are
breakthrough medical
treatments designed to
address the growing
fertility issues facing many
Dubai couples today.
Prof. Dr. Human Fatemi,
Subspecialist Reproductive
Medicine & Reproductive
Surgery, Medical Director,
IVI Middle East Fertility
Clinic, said: "Infertility
is becoming increasingly
common not just in Dubai and
the UAE but the rest of the
region as well, and
prompting couples to seek
medical assistance to help
them with their reproductive
concerns is becoming more
and more imperative. At IVI
Middle East, we have
encountered a range of
complex infertility problems
and reproductive disorders
which have been addressed
through latest assisted
conception technologies."
Thanks to the great progress
made in technologies and
research globally, assisted
conception procedures are
more sophisticated and
advanced. The success rate
in the region as well as
globally is high and we
expect it to further improve
as the world continuously
works on finding
breakthrough treatments to
address a myriad of
fertility problems, Prof.
Dr. Fatemi added.
"We have seen an upsurge in
demand recently for our
services in Dubai clinic.
IVI Middle East Dubai Clinic
has met this increase in
demand through extending our
working days to cover
Saturdays starting 25th of
November," Prof. Dr. Fatemi
said.
IVI Middle East is part of
a European chain with over
71 clinics worldwide.
