Ontario says 25 fertility clinics to get first round of funding as part of plan to reduce IVF wait lists

Ontario announced on Wednesday that 25 fertility clinics will receive the first round of funding as a part of its $250-million plan to reduce waiting lists for in vitro fertilization and “triple” the number of families that can access expensive fertility treatments.

The announcement provided details from the province’s first major expansion of its Ontario Fertility Program, which launched in 2015 to help people struggling with infertility pay for procedures such as IVF.
