WHO reports that one in six people worldwide are affected by infertility during their lifetime.
Infertility affects 17.5% of the adult population globally, with little variation between high and low-income countries.
WHO calls for better access to affordable and high-quality fertility care.
Infertility is a disease of the male or female reproductive system. Infertility can cause significant distress, stigma, and financial hardship for those affected.
Most medical care for infertility, including IVF, is underfunded and inaccessible due to high costs.
Fertility treatments are often funded out of pocket, leading to catastrophic healthcare costs for many.
Direct medical costs for a single round of IVF are often higher than the average annual income.
Better policies and public financing can significantly improve access to infertility treatment.
