Dubai's position as a global travel hub makes it an ideal location for international patients seeking world-class fertility care. NewGen expects construction of the facility to begin in the second quarter, with its opening targeted for the fourth quarter this year.
Mr. Siu Wing Fung Alfred, Founder, Chairman, and CEO of NewGen, commented, “This strategic funding marks a significant milestone in our global expansion strategy and provides the liquidity we need to drive our long-term growth. The UAE's progressive regulatory environment for fertility treatments allows us to offer a full suite of services, making it an ideal region for the next step of our expansion efforts. By capitalizing on our recently acquired Microsort technology, we plan to establish a strong presence in Dubai, which we hope will serve as a hub to reach patients from a variety of regions. This expansion represents a pivotal step in our commitment to providing world-class fertility solutions to patients around the world.”
