Summary
ART has made great advancements in the last several decades. From 3D sonographic imaging to assess for mullerian anomalies, to new medications and treatment protocols, the science of infertility treatment is constantly evolving. As technology improves, there continues to be a rising demand for fertility services. In fact, over eight million children worldwide have been born as a consequence of ART. However, despite these advancements, ART is available to only a small portion of the affected population. Numerous barriers prohibit many couples from accessing the services required to create a family.
