NSPA stated that support has been extended to 93 women seeking fertility treatment, with successful outcomes recorded for 23 individuals.

Alongside NSPA’s welfare-based assistance, the Aasandha health insurance scheme is also currently providing financial coverage for IVF, resulting in two separate funding avenues being made available for those pursuing fertility care.

Expanding access to infertility treatment was among the commitments made by President Dr Mohamed Muizzu, who pledged to introduce Aasandha coverage for affected couples within the first 100 days of his administration.

Further arrangements have been made to ensure IVF services are available at the Indira Gandhi Memorial Hospital (IGMH).
