Lynn Burmeister: Why Doctor-Owned Fertility Clinics Matter
Lynn Burmeister, Medical Director of Number1Fertility, shared on LinkedIn:
“The Kindbody story: Why doctor-owned fertility clinics matter.
Recent developments involving US fertility provider Kindbody have prompted important conversations about the future of fertility care and the different models of clinic ownership.
As the founder of a doctor-owned fertility clinic in Australia, I believe strongly in the value of medical independence.
IVF is not just a business. It is an incredibly personal journey that requires trust, continuity of care and clinical expertise.
Doctor-owned clinics offer an important alternative within the fertility sector, allowing medical professionals to have a direct role in both clinical decisions and the long-term direction of their practices.
There is room for different ownership models in fertility medicine, and each should be judged on the quality, safety and continuity of care it provides.
Ultimately, the future of fertility medicine should be shaped by what matters most: our patients.”
