The importance of pregnancy rates

The quality of service and the technological background of an Assisted Reproduction Unit are judged based on the end result.
The official recording of results by a national authority and their subsequent publication would provide interested couples with a reliable criterion for which IVF Unit to select.

In Greece, an independent National Authority of Human Assisted Reproduction has been recently formed, and its remits include, among others, the recording and publication of success rates for every IVF unit in Greece. It is expected that this national registration of results will form the basis for the creation of a complete infertility epidemiological file.
