๐ข *New WHO guideline on infertility care*
๐ Infertility affects *1 in 6 people* worldwide โ yet in many places, treatment is too expensive, unsafe, or hard to access. In some countries, just *one IVF cycle can cost more than a family earns in a year*.
๐ฑ WHO is calling on all countries to make fertility care safer, fairer and more affordable. The new guideline includes *40 recommendations* to improve prevention, diagnosis and treatment โ from simple fertility advice to IVF โ all based on science and respectful care.
*What you can do:*
๐ Learn about fertility early: age, lifestyle, and untreated STIs all matter
๐ Seek care in trusted, accredited facilities
๐ Support policies that make fertility services part of national health coverage
๐ Share this message to help others understand theyโre not alone
Everyone deserves the chance to build a family โ without stigma or financial hardship.
