Affordable in vitro fertilization

摘要

Individuals often experience the pursuit of a baby through assisted reproductive technology (ART) as emotionally, physically, and financially exhaustive. Despite the birth of over 5 million babies through in vitro fertilization (IVT), restricted accessibility to these procedures due to financial constraints continues to affect many couples. Governmental intervention offers help in a few countries; however, insurance coverage is usually minimal. Efforts to make these procedures cost effective can be driven by medical professionals, government institutions, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), the pharmaceutical industry, and by the couples themselves. Affordable IVF should translate into both cost effectiveness and efficiency, resulting in the best possible outcome.
