Dimbayaa is a collective of fertility professionals based in The Gambia and Holland. We strive to promote fertility awareness and development within West Africa. We are deeply committed to provide all the primary and ancillary services related to infertility counseling, diagnosis and treatment to the people of The Gambia in West Africa.
At Africmed Clinic in Brusubi, The Gambia we have developed a program for fertility care. We offer counseling, standardized diagnosis and treatment currently being ovulation induction (OVI) and intrauterine insemination (IUI). In the future we hope to further develop and expand our range of fertility treatments to cryo-preservation (freezing) of semen and low cost IVF.
We strongly believe educations and prevention should also be part of our program. Demystifying the causes and creating awareness on fertility on the one hand, and primary prevention; sexual education of young people on how to avoid STD’s, as well as secondary prevention; early and appropriate diagnosis and treatment of STD’s, on the other hand.

Future Vision
Mild stimulation protocols in combination with the simplified culture system can masively reduce the costs of IVF yet guarantee safety and effectivety. This will make this program attractive not only for Gambian couples, but also those from the region as well as beyond.
