Ukraine has introduced a program of free infertility treatment using assisted reproductive technologies as part of its medical guarantees program. The NHSU announced that all citizens have equal access to medical services under the program. However, there is an age limit: women over 40 cannot participate in the fertility treatment program.
"We will see how many women apply, what health problems they have in a certain period of time. The medical guarantee program is not static, it develops and modernizes every year to suit the conditions in which our country is, so it will be revised if there are appropriate needs and reasons for this," he says.
