Alpha IVF Makes History with 84.4% ICSI Fertilisation Rate, Recognised by Malaysia Book of Records

On 25 October 2026, Alpha IVF & Women’s Specialists proudly achieved a new milestone, earning recognition from the Malaysia Book of Records for an 84.4% ICSI fertilisation rate.
We were deeply honoured to welcome Her Royal Highness the Tengku Ampuan of Pahang, Tunku Azizah Aminah Maimunah Iskandariah, who touched hearts by sharing her personal journey of undergoing 17 IVF attempts to fulfil her dream of motherhood. She recalled travelling to Singapore and other parts of the world to seek advanced medical care.
Reflecting on the progress made since then, Her Royal Highness expressed pride and gratitude for the remarkable advancements in Malaysia’s reproductive healthcare, highlighting how local and collaborative medical teams have achieved success rates that surpass those of some European institutions.
The event also honoured Malaysia’s IVF pioneers. Dr Haris Hamzah, Malaysia’s first IVF doctor, shared how he achieved Malaysia’s first IVF pregnancy in June 1986, followed by the birth of the country’s first IVF baby in March 1987. This pioneering achievement was subsequently recorded in the inaugural 1995 edition of the Malaysia Book of Records.

Dato’ Dr Colin Lee highlighted that the journey towards a successful pregnancy begins long before embryo transfer — from protecting eggs and achieving fertilisation to cultivating and selecting embryos. Alpha IVF continues to advance reproductive science through research and innovation.
A proud moment followed as Her Royal Highness witnessed Dato’ Dr Colin Lee receive the Malaysia Book of Records certificate from its Chief Executive Officer, Christopher Wong, commemorating Alpha IVF’s remarkable achievement.
Behind this record are our dedicated embryologists, whose expertise and precision play a vital role in every step of the journey. We were honoured to recognise their invaluable contributions during the ceremony.
The celebration was made even more meaningful by the presence of children born through the Tunku Azizah Fertility Foundation (TAFF). Seeing these children and their grateful parents together was a beautiful reminder of the hope and happiness this mission brings to families.
84.4% is more than a record. It represents scientific progress, the dedication of our team, and the hope of families dreaming of a future together.
