The paper addresses regulation, funding and access to services, health impact and safety, economic considerations and socio-cultural perspectives on fertility. A second paper addresses the issues facing IVF programs related to lost-to-follow-up and embryo abandonment. The paper highlights the types of problems faced by programs and suggested public health policy approaches for this growing issue. | ||||
