Percentage of infertile or subfertile couples and individuals receiving assisted fertility treatments.
Definition:
- Ratio of (i) numerator: total number of infertile or subfertile couples who wish to have children and are receiving assisted fertilization treatments, and (ii) denominator: total number of infertile or subfertile couples who wish to have children.
- Ratio of (i) numerator: total number of infertile or subfertile individuals who wish to have children and are receiving assisted fertilization treatments, and (ii) denominator: total number of infertile or subfertile individuals who wish to have children.
The two indicators are expressed per 100 infertile or subfertile couples who wish to have children or 100 infertile or subfertile individuals who wish to have children, respectively.
Notes:
This indicator should take account of the legal regulations in force in the country regarding assisted fertilization and the existence of centres that perform these procedures.
