Olive Fertility Centre statement on Province of British Columbia publicly-funded IVF program

February 22, 2024

The Province of BC has announced that beginning April 2025, BC will launch a new publicly funded in-vitro fertilization program, funding both treatment and medication for one cycle. Read announcement.

 

Olive Fertility currently has no details about the program including who qualifies, whether there are age restrictions, nor do we have a waitlist established. Please do not contact our clinic for information as we plan to provide updates on our website and social media when we learn more.

 

Olive Fertility Centre celebrates this announcement for people of BC seeking assisted reproduction to grow their family. If you are struggling to conceive or have concerns about your fertility, we encourage you to book a full fertility assessment as soon as possible. It is particularly important to see a fertility specialist if you are age 37 or older, or have a known condition impacting your fertility.
 

Currently MSP covers fertility consultations and most assessments for residents of BC, as well as some treatment with a referral from a family physician or virtual clinic.

Inclusion of all gender and sexually diverse people is an important value of Olive Fertility Centre. We are continuously striving to create an environment of compassionate belonging where all of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community are supported, valued and respected.

Olive Fertility Centre resides on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and Tsleil-waututh Nations (Vancouver and Surrey clinics), of the Lekwungen people (Victoria clinic), of the syilx/Okanagan people (Kelowna clinic) and of the Lheidli T’enneh First Nation (Blossom Fertility clinic in Prince George).
