Sperm Crises

Jun 14, 2024

Folkemødet 2024 proved to be an incredible setting for discussions on infertility and equality in fertility treatment. The need to focus on the male cause of infertility was highlighted as an action point to improve both men’s and women’s journey through fertility treatment.

📢 In every debate about fertility >80% of the audience indicated that they them self or someone they knew had experience with infertility!

Some ReproUnion highlights:
👉 Pitch by Kristine Koppelhus on ‘How the ReproUnion Innovation platform with World Class research aim to develop new innovative solutions to improve and individualize fertility treatment:
✳Optimized and individualized hormonal treatment for women
✳New treatments targeted male infertility problems
✳Digital solution to improve mental health during fertility treatment
ReproUnion pitched along seven other projects invited by Interreg Öresund-Kattegat-Skagerrak and Interreg Öresund-Kattegat-Skagerrak Deutschland-Danmark.

📢Good discussion in the debate arranged by the Danish society for egg and sperm donation with Anja Pinborg key takeaways:
💫 NO waiting list in the public fertility clinics!
🔜 Clear principles for the collaboration between the public and private fertility clinics are needed.
🤝 Private and public actors are ready to go hand in hand to lift the workload to implement the 3 extra treatments and help to second child.

❤️ Honest and to the point debate on ‘Involuntary childlessness and homeless love’ moderated by Mads Duedahl Danske regioner. Ida Auken was indignant about the inequality in research and historical lack of focus on eg. PCO, endometrioses and bad semen quality. She highlighted the “sperm crises” and the importance of including the man in the infertility treatment process and optimization of treatment. Michella Meier-Morsi influencer and mother of twins and triplets made the debate honest and to the point❤️
