Blue Ocean Health, the integrated healthcare platform behind Fakih IVF Fertility Group, First Genomics, First Compounding Pharmacy, and Jumeirah American Clinic, and one of the Middle East’s leading providers of reproductive medicine, assisted reproductive technology (ART), and fertility research, presented its expanding academic, clinical and research programmes at the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology (ESHRE) Annual Meeting 2026 in London, reinforcing its position as a global leader in reproductive healthcare and innovation.

As the only reproductive health platform from the GCC participating at ESHRE 2026, Blue Ocean Health showcased the region’s growing contribution to advancing reproductive medicine on the international stage, while strengthening collaborations with leading fertility centres, universities and healthcare institutions from around the world.

Represented through its flagship fertility brand, Fakih IVF Fertility Group, Blue Ocean Health highlighted its integrated healthcare ecosystem, bringing together world-class fertility care, genomics, personalised medicine, advanced pharmacy solutions, research, education and multidisciplinary patient care under one platform. The organisation continues to drive innovation across every stage of the fertility journey while setting new benchmarks for clinical excellence, scientific research and physician education.

The ESHRE Annual Meeting serves as one of the world’s most influential scientific congresses in reproductive medicine, bringing together leading clinicians, researchers and healthcare innovators to shape the future of fertility care through collaboration and knowledge exchange.

“Our participation at ESHRE reflects far more than sharing our clinical expertise,” said Dr Michael Fakih, founder and chairman of Blue Ocean Health and Fakih IVF Fertility Group. “It reflects our ambition to help shape the future of reproductive medicine. We believe the next generation of fertility care will be driven by precision medicine, genomics, AI, scientific collaboration, and integrated models of care that extend well beyond IVF. Through Blue Ocean Health, we are building an ecosystem that brings these disciplines together, positioning the UAE as a global hub for innovation, research, education, and advanced reproductive healthcare while expanding access to world-class care for patients across the globe.”

A cornerstone of Blue Ocean Health’s international strategy is its rapidly expanding Academic Programme, delivered through Fakih Institute by Fakih IVF Fertility Group. The programme offers structured education and fellowship training in reproductive medicine, assisted reproductive technologies and clinical embryology, creating the next generation of fertility specialists across the region and beyond.

Led by Dr Yasmin Sajjad, medical director, chair of academics and programme director at Fakih IVF Abu Dhabi, the Academy provides immersive clinical training, advanced laboratory experience, multidisciplinary education and research opportunities aligned with international best practices.

The institution currently offers structured fellowship programmes in reproductive medicine and clinical embryology alongside comprehensive training for junior doctors and obstetrics and gynaecology trainees. Participants gain hands-on experience throughout the complete IVF patient journey, including embryology, andrology, complex infertility management, research methodology and evidence-based clinical practice.

Blue Ocean Health continues to expand its international academic network through collaborations with leading institutions across Europe, North America and the Middle East, supporting educational exchange, faculty development, joint research initiatives and international scientific collaboration. Educational partnerships with leading UK institutions are already established, while recognition aligned with Royal College standards in Canada is nearing completion.

The organisation has also now achieved fellowship recognition by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada, further strengthening its international academic credibility and training framework.

In addition, Blue Ocean Health will commence a new strategic academic and clinical collaboration with leading healthcare institutions in Manchester, UK, aimed at advancing joint research, specialist training programmes and knowledge exchange in reproductive medicine.

A new mobility solution is entering the UAE market with the launch of STROLLZ. – a Dubai-based, family-owned e-commerce brand – introducing thoughtfully designed stroller wagons for modern families. Founded in 2025 by Nadine and Arne Bradshaw, a German family living in the UAE, the brand was born from a real family need and a clear gap in the local market for family mobility solutions that balance elevated design, comfort, practicality and long-term versatility.

Offering an alternative to traditional strollers, STROLLZ. is designed for the realities of everyday family life, from children and pets to travel, beach days, errands and daily outings. Created to adapt as families grow, STROLLZ. provides a considered mobility solution for modern parents seeking functionality without compromising on style.

Redefining Family Mobility

The idea for STROLLZ. began when the family moved from Germany to Dubai and brought their own stroller wagon with them. What started as a practical solution for their own family quickly attracted attention from other parents, who would frequently stop them to ask where they had purchased it, take photos, and even offer to buy it on the spot.

This response revealed a clear gap in the UAE market. While stroller wagons exist internationally, families in the UAE had limited access to elevated options that combined generous space, comfort, safety, refined design and everyday practicality. Traditional strollers can often feel restrictive as children grow, while conventional wagons may lack the quality and thoughtful design modern families are seeking.

“When I moved to Dubai, I brought a much simpler stroller wagon with me because it worked so well for our family,” says Nadine Bradshaw, Founder of STROLLZ. “What surprised me was how often other parents stopped me to ask about it. They wanted to know where they could buy the stroller wagon, and some even offered to purchase ours on the spot. That was the moment we knew, this was bigger than just our family’s needs. It revealed a real gap in the UAE market and it was clear that families here had been waiting for a solution like this.”

Carries What Matters Most

STROLLZ. brings a refined approach to the multi-child mobility category, combining design-led aesthetics with real-life functionality. The current 4-seater stroller wagon features individual seats with elegant detailing, 5-point harnesses, UVP50 canopy, storage solutions, high-quality materials, smooth all-terrain performance and a travel-friendly design that allows families to take it right up to the boarding gate.

Its removable seat system offers the flexibility to adapt the wagon to changing needs, whether accommodating up to four children or creating additional space for everyday essentials. Available in Desert Sand, Forest Green and Urban Black, the collection is designed for families who value both practicality and style.

Unlike a traditional stroller that may be quickly outgrown, STROLLZ. is built for long-term usability across different stages of childhood. Its generous capacity makes it suitable for families with up to four young children, while its pet-friendly entrance supports families who want to include their pets in daily walks and outings.

“Our goal was to create something that feels genuinely useful but also beautifully considered,” says Arne Bradshaw, Co-Founder of STROLLZ. “As parents living in Dubai, we understand how much families carry, plan and manage every time they leave the house. STROLLZ. was designed to make those moments easier, whether for daily routines, travel, beach days or weekends out together.”

At its core, STROLLZ. is built around quality, durability, multifunctionality, ease of use and thoughtful design. The brand reflects the realities of family life in the UAE, where parents are often moving between school runs, errands, shopping, travel, outdoor plans and community experiences. By offering a versatile stroller wagon that supports children, pets and everyday essentials, STROLLZ. helps families spend less time managing what they carry and more time enjoying shared moments.
