Fertility experts have called for the provision of State funding for in vitro fertilisation (IVF) treatment.
“The realisation that financial and societal savings could result from the introduction of a State-funded IVF programme with compulsory elective single embryo transfers (eSET) where recommended should come sooner rather than later,” they concluded.
Their research makes available for the first time cumulative data from six of the seven IVF clinics in the country providing a reference on assisted reproductive treatment (ART) and outcomes for practicing doctors in Ireland.
Researchers from various fertility centres in Ireland presented, in the latest edition of the Irish Medical Journal, national data on ART treatment over 10 years voluntarily reported by six out of seven IVF clinics.
