Top Fertility Clinic in The World’s Best City
Cape Fertility is not only situated in Cape Town, South Africa, voted the world’s best city again and again, it is also one of the leading fertility clinics in South Africa and among the best globally.
In this article, we explore why Cape Town is consistently named the Best City in the World, why it is an ideal location for fertility treatment, and why Cape Fertility is considered one of the top fertility clinics worldwide.
Cape Town: The Best City in the World for a Reason
Cape Town has consistently been recognised as one of the best cities in the world by major global travel and lifestyle publications. In 2024, Cape Town was ranked as the Best City in the World in Time Out’s annual global survey, surpassing cities like New York and Bangkok.
The rankings were based on insights from over 18,500 locals and more than 100 city experts, who scored Cape Town highly across multiple categories, including happiness, cultural scene, natural beauty, and affordability.
According to Time Out, Cape Town’s food scene, culture, and breathtaking scenery were among the top reasons for its recognition. A remarkable 97% of locals reported that the city makes them happy, while 89% praised its rich cultural experiences, and 95% loved its incredible food and restaurants.
The accolades don’t stop there. In addition to being voted Best City in the World, Cape Town was also named the Top Food City at the Condé Nast Traveller Readers’ Choice Awards and was ranked the Best City by The Telegraph readers in 2023.
With its stunning landscapes, rich biodiversity, and vibrant city life, Cape Town is not only a dream destination for travellers—it is also an ideal location for advanced medical care, including fertility treatments.
Why Cape Town is a Prime Destination for Fertility Treatment
In addition to its natural beauty and world-class hospitality, Cape Town is a leading medical hub in South Africa and across Africa. It boasts some of the best healthcare facilities, including private specialist clinics and renowned medical institutions like Groote Schuur Hospital, the site of the world’s first successful human heart transplant.
Cape Town is home to a number of fertility clinics, making it an attractive option for couples looking for high-quality fertility care in a comfortable and scenic environment. The city offers first-world infrastructure, highly qualified medical professionals, and cutting-edge reproductive technology.
This combination of affordability, medical excellence, and a beautiful setting makes Cape Town an outstanding choice for those seeking fertility treatment.

We are very proud that both our chairman, Dr Sulaiman Heylen, and our CEO, Dr Paul le Roux, have served terms as President of SASREG. Dr le Roux is also the Secretary-General of the AFFS (African Federation of Fertility Societies).
