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:
