Moïse Kwasivi Fiadjoe

Moïse Kwasivi Fiadjoe was Togolese. His date and place of birth were not given in reports of his death. His father was also a doctor with a medical practice in Togo.

He studied medicine in France at the faculty of medicine in Lille, where he obtained his state doctorate in medicine in 1978. He then trained further in human biology, anatomy, ultrasound and gynaecology and obstetrics, and completed his residency in Tourcoing.

Fiadjoe returned to Togo in 1983 and joined his father's medical practice. In 1984 he became the first doctor in Togo to equip his practice with an ultrasound machine. The same year he co-founded the BIASA clinic in Lomé with Dr Jemima Prince-Agbodjan and Dr Robert Koblavisoé Fiadjoe.

The clinic developed into a multidisciplinary establishment with a specialised fertility centre. In 1996 Fiadjoe became the first Togolese doctor to perform in vitro fertilisation in Togo. The centre later offered intracytoplasmic sperm injection, intrauterine insemination, egg freezing and treatment with donated gametes and embryos. The clinic was reported to have assisted in more than 12,000 births, and it celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2024.

He published research on egg donation and access to IVF in Africa, including a 2016 article on promoting egg donation among infertile African women. He was a founding member of the Inter-African Group for the Study, Research and Application of Fertility (GIERAF), created in Lomé in 2009, and led it from 2009 to 2011. He remained head of the BIASA fertility centre until shortly before his death.

Fiadjoe came from a medical family and began his career in Togo in his father's practice. His death was announced by the Fiadjoe family and related families. Further details of his private life were not included in published reports.

Moïse Kwasivi Fiadjoe died on Saturday 3 October 2026. Wikipedia gives the place of death as France. His age and the cause of death were not made public. The Fiadjoe family announced his death and said that information about condolences and the funeral would be shared later. Togolese news outlets reported the death on 4 October 2026, describing it as a loss for the country's medical world.

Fiadjoe is remembered as the doctor who brought IVF to Togo and as one of the pioneers of assisted reproduction in West Africa. The BIASA clinic he co-founded continues to operate in Lomé with its fertility centre, and GIERAF, the regional fertility group he helped found, continues to bring together African specialists in the field.
