Fertility Association proposes national program for 2027 State Budget
The Portuguese Fertility Association has proposed a new national program to address infertility, calling for 100% state coverage of medication used in Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) treatments. The proposal also seeks to establish maximum waiting times for consultations and procedures, with state-funded referrals to private clinics if public services cannot meet those times, as well as travel support for patients residing far from specialized centers.
Why it matters
This is a proposal and not yet government policy, but if adopted in the 2027 State Budget, it could significantly lower the cost of fertility treatments and reduce waiting times for those using the public health system.ObservadorRead original ↗
