It is National Infertility Awareness Week, the campaign is spearheaded by Resolve, the US infertility charity. The theme this year is changing the conversation. Today we appeal to you, the infertility patient to help us lead our campaign to change the conversation with your healthcare provider.
Our current situation with the COVD19 global pandemic has changed the landscape for fertility providers as treatment is currently suspended. The Fertility Hub understands how upsetting, worrying and frustrating this is for you as a patient.
Please take 5 minutes to complete our patient survey, your answers help us change the conversation with IVF clinics internationally and get you the help you need.
Also, The Fertility Hub is proud to be the media partner for the Beat Infertility National Virtual Summit, please see today’s schedule below, there are 11 expert speakers today. Please register for your FREE place here.
