The newly launched clinic is designed to provide a streamlined, supportive, and deeply personalized fertility journey. It features an advanced IVF lab with cutting-edge embryology and andrology labs, private consultation rooms, recovery suites, and dedicated spaces for emotional and wellness support—recognizing that fertility is as much an emotional experience as it is a medical one.
'At Orchid, our work begins with empathy and is guided by science,' said Dr. Dimitrios Kafetzis, Medical Director and Consultant in Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility at Orchid Fertility. 'This new facility enables us to deepen that commitment, offering improved outcomes and comfort to patients. Whether someone is taking their first steps in fertility treatment or seeking answers after a long journey, Orchid is where hope finds direction.'

Its team of leading fertility specialists are highly experienced in treating complex cases, using the latest technology and evidence-based approaches to deliver hope and results to couples who have struggled for years.
'Dubai is a city that thrives on innovation, excellence and inclusivity,' said Dr. Arpan David, CEO of Orchid Fertility. 'It's the perfect place for us to continue our growth journey. Our team, infrastructure, and medical capabilities have evolved to support every patient with personalised, high-quality care.'
The clinic's services include fertility preservation, male infertility treatment, genetic testing, embryo freezing, and advanced IVF procedures—all backed by a multidisciplinary team and supported by a compassionate care model. Beyond medicine, Orchid offers holistic support including counseling, mindfulness sessions, and lifestyle coaching to ease the emotional toll of fertility treatment.
'The rising demand for fertility care reflects changing lifestyles, delayed parenthood and greater awareness,' added Dr. Partha Das, Deputy Medical Director, Consultant Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility. 'Orchid's enhanced capabilities ensure that we're well-positioned to extend care to a broader and more diverse group of patients—especially those who have experienced setbacks or are navigating complex fertility challenges.'
With expanded capacity and streamlined scheduling, patients can now access consultations faster than ever before.
'At Orchid, we don't just offer treatment—we offer hope, direction, and unwavering support,' said Dr. Arpan David. 'This new facility is a reflection of our values: advanced, warm, and deeply human.'
As demand for fertility services continues to grow across the UAE, Orchid Fertility's expansion marks a bold step forward in shaping the future of reproductive health—where innovation meets empathy, and outcomes change lives.

OWWA e-Card printer to stay at MWO-Dubai even after Serbisyo Caravan
UAE-based OFWs who were unable to claim their e-Cards during the recent Serbisyo Caravan in Dubai will still be able to get their cards, as the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA) will leave its card printer at the Migrant Workers Office (MWO). 'Huwag kayong mag-alala para sa OWWA dahil hindi lang ito isang araw lang sa Dubai. Iiwan na namin dito 'yung card printer para tuloy-tuloy lang ang pagpi-print ng OWWA e-Card dito sa Dubai,' OWWA Administrator Patricia Yvonne Caunan. Alongside the surge in National ID applications, the OWWA e-Card was among the most in-demand services during the OFW Serbisyo Caravan held at the Dubai World Trade Center on August 3. Active members of OWWA who wish to request an e-Card may complete their registration using a QR code provided by the agency. The QR code will remain available for those who missed the caravan. She added that eligible individuals can claim their e-Card anytime, even after the event. 'Anytime pwede niyong kunin, at kung hindi niyo makukuha today, kayo po ay cocontact-in ng mga tauhan ng OWWA dito sa Dubai,' she said. Thousands of attendees OWWA made the decision after thousands of Filipinos turned up at the one-day event, overwhelming the initial space at Exhibition Hall 8 of the Dubai World Trade Center and prompting organizers to expand the venue to Sheikh Rashid Hall. Caunan acknowledged the large turnout and emphasized the need for recurring caravans in the UAE. 'Hindi natin in-expect na ganito karami ang may kailangan ng serbisyo ng gobyerno dito sa Dubai. Hindi pwedeng isa o dalawang araw lang ito, kailangan ulit-ulitin ito dahil kailangan dito sa UAE dalhin ang serbisyo ng gobyerno,' Caunan said. The OWWA e-Card serves as proof of membership and can be used to access various government services and programs for overseas Filipinos.
