Canadian fertility clinic secures CAD$20m to “revolutionise” reproductive healthcare

Toronto-based fertility clinic Pollin Fertility has raised CAD$20m in funding to “revolutionise” reproductive healthcare in Canada.

Led by fertility physician and medical director Dr Kim Gardedian, the clinic aims to transform fertility care in Canada and achieve higher success rates in the industry.

Using engineering technology, artificial intelligence, and machine learning, the company says it will be the first provider in Canada to give patients full control of their fertility journey through advanced technology tools.

According to Pollin, patients will be able to manage their journey, communicate with their care navigator, access results and receive information on demand.

“Global fertility success rates are incredibly low and accepted as industry standard,” said Melody Adhami, president and CEO at Pollin Fertility.

“Those struggling with infertility deserve better. We can do better.  Every business across the globe is innovating through technology and fertility treatments should be no different.

“Pollin will offer patients the warm, welcoming environment patients crave while simultaneously delivering in-house technology that is poised to deliver the best success rates in the industry.”

Adhami, a fertility patient herself, and Dr Garbedian together share a vision of a fertility experience that truly works for patients.

Garbedian, said: “Patients are at the heart of everything we do. We are committed to providing our patients with a compassionate and supportive fertility journey along with the most advanced fertility treatments available.”

The investment, led by Osmington Inc, is hoped to help the company become major player in the reproductive healthcare space and optimise success rates. 

Lawrence Zucker, CEO of Osmington, said: “We are proud to invest in a team who have a track record of success and diverse skill sets that will deliver positive outcomes in fertility.

“Pollin is tackling one of the most rapidly growing challenges in the healthcare space and we are pleased to be part of the team that is going to change fertility care.”

Pollin will officially open on October 16 in the Yonge and Eglinton district, Toronto.
