ReShape Fertility | With Dr. Pankaj Shri...

RANIA MASRI EL KHATIB | THE RMK COLLECTIVE
About this episode

Even though today IVF treatments have become a common procedure within society, we still live in a world where the topic of infertility continues to be taboo, having couples suffering or even dealing with the process in silence. We discuss in this episode about  all things IVF with the pioneer in the field of reproductive medicine & one of the most acclaimed doctors in IVF treatments in the UAE. Dr Pankaj also happens to be the doctor that helped my family conceive our second daughter Lulwa.

Dr. Pankaj Shrivastav is a highly reputed gynecologist, specialized in IVF & fertility treatments, currently the Director of Conceive - a gynecology & fertility hospital in Sharjah. His journey in the UAE started in 1991 after an invitation from the Government of Dubai to be part of of a team that was tasked with establishing the U.A.E's first ever Fertility Unit -Dubai Gynaecology and Fertility Centre (DGFC).

Along his career, Dr. Pankaj has devised several new techniques with contributions to the field of Fertility Medicine such as pioneering work in Ovarian Hyperstimulation and Surgical Retrieval of Sperm :  routine techniques that are now carried out in fertility units the world over.

In recognition to his career & contribution to the field of Reproductive & Fertility Medicine, Dr. Pankaj has been awarded the Fellowship from the Royal College of London in Obstetrics & Gynecology as well as India's Hind Rattan recognition.

Join me  in this episode as I dive into Dr.Pankaj's journey from Med-School in London to helping deliver the first IVF baby in the UAE in 1992, as well as his views on how the infertility taboo landscape has evolved in the region, the rise of infertility & the egg freezing topic,  the correlation between spirituality & modern medicine, and advice on the steps to take while seeking for help to conceive & much more...
