A new article by CRA’s Life Sciences experts titled “Policy solutions to improve access to fertility treatment and optimise patient care: consensus from an expert forum,” published in Frontiers in Public Health, uncovers the policy challenges shaping access to ART around the world.

The findings make a compelling case for policymakers to act and redefine infertility not as a social issue, but as a critical public health priority requiring investment and support.
