During the meeting, Dr. Yaghoub Fathollahi, the vice president of research and technology at ACECR, emphasized the government's responsibility to solve the issue of infertility, which affects millions of people and communities. It is estimated that approximately one in six people of reproductive age worldwide will experience infertility during their lifetime. Infertility has damaging social effects on couples, especially women. They may experience violence, divorce, stigma, stress, depression, anxiety, and low self-esteem. He stated that fertility care comprises the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of infertility. Equitable and equitable access to reproductive care remains a challenge in many countries, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. National universal health coverage benefit packages often do not prioritize fertility care. Inequalities in accessing reproductive care services impact marginalized populations such as the poor, single, illiterate, and unemployed.
