Infertility Crisis Among American Women

'04.05.2017'

American women have enough problems, but one of them is particularly acute. Unsuccessful attempts to get pregnant are accompanied by many couples. Birthrate experts believe that today this problem must be maintained at the federal level.

Head of the New York clinic New Hope (New Hope Fertility Clinic) Dr. John Zhang (John zhang) believes that infertility couples should not be their personal problem. Increasing fertility in America needs to be stimulated with special government programs. For example, in vitro fertilization (IVF) is a rather expensive procedure that is beyond the power of many couples who want to have a child. IVF treatment costs about $ 12 thousands, and concomitant medications range from $ 3 to $ 5 thousands more.

Zhang noted that such an amount for most couples is overwhelming, and insurance will not cover these costs. And although with the help of IVF in recent times there are more and more babies, this technique is still considered experimental, in terms of state medicine. Dr. Zhang recalled that the first child as a result of IVF fertilization was born in 1978 year. This project was funded by private individuals, and to this day the government is on the sidelines. And all the burden of birth of eco-children still falls on the shoulders of parents.
