Hey there! If you’re in the Nowogard Municipality and facing challenges with infertility, we’ve got some good news for you. We’re rolling out a Health Policy Program aimed at helping couples who are struggling to conceive through in vitro fertilization (IVF). This initiative, running from 2020 to 2022, offers financial assistance to eligible couples.
Program Overview
The goal is simple: to provide financial support to couples dealing with infertility. If you qualify, you could receive co-funding for your IVF procedure, covering up to 50% of the costs, with a maximum limit of 10,000 PLN. This includes one personalized IVF procedure, whether it’s standard IVF or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). The program is set to facilitate 20 IVF procedures utilizing various options, such as:
- Your own gametes
- Sperm from an anonymous donor
- Oocytes from an anonymous donor
Who Can Apply?
To be part of this supportive program, here are the criteria you need to meet:
- You must be married or in a civil partnership.
- Both partners need to be residents of Nowogard Municipality.
- The woman should be aged between 20 and 40, although procedures can be performed for women up to 42 if they have a promising ovarian reserve.
- Medical indications for IVF, as per the current guidelines, must be met.
Who Is Not Eligible?
Unfortunately, there are some exclusions:
- If there’s a high risk of abnormal response to ovulation stimulation.
- If there’s a history of recurrent pregnancy loss (more than three miscarriages).
- Any anatomical issues that prevent carrying a pregnancy to term.
- A negative assessment from our consultation team.
Treatment Journey
The program covers a variety of treatment stages, including:
- One free psychological consultation.
- Monitoring of ovarian follicle growth.
- Hormonal assessments.
- Ovarian puncture.
- Semen preparation.
- IVF or ICSI using your own or donor gametes.
- Supervision of embryo development and transfer.
However, additional costs such as diagnostic tests, medications, and other advanced techniques (like time-lapse embryo culture or embryo glue) will be your responsibility. You can access only one IVF procedure under this program.
