“Experts have called for the health insurance system to begin covering infertility treatment, aiming to reduce the financial burden on couples trying to conceive. This proposal comes as the rate of infertility in Việt Nam continues to rise, with many couples unable to afford the high costs of treatment.

The Ministry of Health (MoH) estimates that more than one million couples face infertility each year, representing 7.7 per cent of the population. Of this number, 3.9 per cent are classified as primary infertility, while 3.8 per cent suffer from secondary infertility. Around 50 per cent of these couples are under the age of 30.” – Viet Nam News
