MUHC Reproductive Centre moves to commercial building

In 2007, then-director Seang Lin Tan announced a new form of IVF for some women that would be safer, cheaper and faster — one of many innovations.
The world-renowned MUHC Reproductive Centre has moved to a new location in a commercial office building in the eastern end of downtown.
The location on the second floor of Place Dupuis, was the former reproductive clinic of the Centre hospitalier de l’Université de Montréal (CHUM), who moved their reproductive clinic to the  Ste-Justine Hospital.
With government funding to public fertility centres, the MUHC Reproductive Centre  benefited enormously, with its volume of procedures more than doubling to 2,000 a year. The future of the centre was cast into doubt after the provincial government decided to de-list in vitro fertilization in November 2015, and the MUHC discovered that it didn’t have the space for the clinic in N.D.G.

Over the years, the MUHC centre gained a reputation as a mecca for research into assisted reproductive technologies attracting specialists from around the world. In 2007, then-director Seang Lin Tan announced a new form of IVF for some women that would be safer, cheaper and faster — one of many innovations.  Montreal Gazette

The union who represents the support staff at the clinic disagrees with the clinic’s move away from the hospital network. “A location at the new N.D.G. site, regardless of government funding, should have be planned from the start. The MUHC’s excuse that they discovered the lack of space, is completely unacceptable.” Manuel Fernandes VP OHS for the CSN MUHC .
Fernandes added, “Here we have ‘A Tale of Two Mega Hospitals’, both the CHUM and MUHC received the same amount of government funding. The CHUM decided to move it’s clinic into the support of a hospital setting.  The MUHC moved their clinic into a commercial building, 7 kilometers away from their newly built facilities.”
