Development status of IVF in China
IVF is a kind of assisted reproductive technology, which enables couples who cannot conceive to achieve their reproductive aspirations through artificial means. In China, IVF technology has made great progress since it was introduced in the 1980s. The following describes the development status of domestic IVF from four aspects: legal policy, technical level, hospital facilities and social acceptance.
Legal policy
The development of IVF technology in China has been regulated and supported by a series of laws and policies. In 2002, the Administrative Measures of the People's Republic of China on Human Assisted Reproductive Technology standardized the implementation and management of IVF, ensuring the safety and legitimacy of technology. Subsequently, the Notice of the Health and Family Planning Commission on the Development of Ovulation promoting IVF Technology, revised in 2014, further clarified the specific operational requirements and management measures of IVF technology, and promoted the further development of technology.
In addition, the Chinese government has introduced a series of preferential policies to encourage couples to choose IVF technology. For example, the population and family planning commissions in some cities provide financial subsidies for IVF for couples who cannot conceive naturally, so that more couples can afford the cost of IVF.
technical level
China has made important breakthroughs in IVF technology, and its technology level is at the international advanced level. Beijing Union Medical College Hospital, Fudan University Affiliated Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital and other well-known domestic hospitals have strong strength and rich experience in IVF technology.
With the continuous progress of science and technology, China's IVF technology is also constantly improving and innovating. For example, the application of assisted incubation technology and embryo screening technology has greatly improved the success rate of IVF and reduced the risk of abortion and chromosomal abnormalities. In addition, the popularization and application of multi follicle puncture technology, embryo implantation and embryo cryopreservation technology have further improved the safety of IVF technology.
Hospital facilities
Some well-known hospitals in China have established perfect IVF technology facilities and laboratories. These hospitals are equipped with advanced reproductive medicine equipment, and have a professional reproductive medicine team, including reproductive medicine experts, embryologists, reproductive endocrinologists, etc.
For example, the Reproductive Medicine Center of Shanghai Changhai Hospital is one of the first hospitals in China to carry out IVF technology. The hospital has high standard IVF assisted reproductive technology facilities and laboratories, provides personalized IVF diagnosis and treatment services, and constantly improves the technical level and service quality.
Social acceptance
The acceptance of IVF technology in China has gradually increased. With the change of people's conception of fertility, more and more couples begin to accept IVF technology and actively seek professional medical help. IVF is no longer regarded as an unorthodox means, but is accepted and chosen by more and more families.
At the same time, some social organizations and media are also actively advocating the legitimate rights and social awareness of IVF technology. Through holding lectures, writing propaganda articles and other ways, they popularized the relevant knowledge of IVF technology to the public, and promoted the understanding and support of society for IVF technology.
summary
In conclusion, significant achievements have been made in the development of IVF technology in China. The standardization and support of laws and policies, advanced technology level, perfect hospital facilities and gradually improved social acceptance have guaranteed the rapid development of IVF technology. However, we should also be aware that the development of IVF technology still needs people's unremitting efforts and technological breakthroughs to further improve the success rate and safety, and bring hope for more couples to realize their reproductive aspirations.
