In honour of World IVF Day, Dr. Beth Taylor was featured on CTV News to speak about the growing demand for fertility care and the impact of B.C.’s newly launched publicly funded IVF program.
While the program, launched July 2, has already helped some patients, Dr. Taylor notes that significant limitations remain, particularly around age and income eligibility. She emphasizes that although the funding is a step forward, it’s “not enough” to fully meet the needs of those seeking treatment.
The segment also highlights how the funding has sparked important conversations about infertility, decreased stigma, and renewed hope for many individuals and couples.
