NewGen and BOBCARE Announce Strategic Collaboration to Expand Fertility Services in Kyrgyzstan

BANGKOK, March 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NewGenIvf Group Limited (NASDAQ:NIVF) ("NewGen" or the "Company"), a comprehensive fertility services provider in Asia helping couples and individuals obtain access to fertility treatments, announced that it has entered into a strategic collaboration agreement with BOBCARE FERTILITY GROUP LLC ("BOBCARE") to jointly develop fertility services in the Kyrgyzstan market.

The collaboration aims to combine NewGen's technical expertise in fertility treatments with BOBCARE's market resources in the region. This strategic partnership is anticipated to contribute to NewGen's market presence over the next three years, improving the competitive position of both parties in the Kyrgyzstan market. Both companies will work together on several initiatives, including enhancing clinical protocols and patient management systems, knowledge exchange between fertility specialists, coordinated marketing and brand-building activities in Kyrgyzstan, and developing specialized fertility treatment options for the regional market.

Kyrgyzstan represents a developing market for fertility services in Central Asia. The country has shown interest in healthcare investments, alongside a developing demand for advanced reproductive technologies. Kyrgyzstan has a relatively young population with evolving perspectives on fertility treatments. The collaboration aligns with ongoing economic cooperation between China and Kyrgyzstan, which have strengthened their ties as important trade partners and sources of investment under the "One-Belt-One-Road" national cooperative framework. BOBCARE, which has recently expanded its operations in Kyrgyzstan, brings valuable local market insights and established networks. NewGen contributes its international experience in fertility treatments and technical capabilities developed across its Asian operations.

"This collaboration with BOBCARE represents a strategic opportunity to extend our services to an emerging market with significant growth potential," said Mr. Siu Wing Fung Alfred, Founder, Chairman, and CEO of NewGen. "By combining our clinical expertise with BOBCARE's regional presence, we believe we can effectively address the increasing demand for quality fertility treatments in Kyrgyzstan while creating value for our shareholders."

Mr. Shi Lei, CEO of BOBCARE, added, "Our strategic partnership with NewGen marks a significant step forward in BOBCARE's globalization endeavors. Through this collaboration, we are committed to introducing China's elite reproductive healthcare professionals and cutting-edge technologies to Central Asia, enhancing our ability to provide patients with an unparalleled range of high-quality fertility treatment options."
