Universal Health Coverage Day 2025 shines a spotlight on the devastating human impact of unaffordable health costs. One in four people face financial hardship when paying for health care out of their own pockets-often at the expense of basic needs such as food, education or housing. Health for all is a prerequisite for achieving the sustainable development goals (SDGs). when governments prioritize to ensure people have access to affordable health care, they lay the groundwork for sustainable progress across all sectors. Fertility rates are falling globally. IFFS has launched a campaign to tackle the problem.

The WHO Guideline for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of infertility aims to improve the implementation of evidence-based interventions related to infertility. The provision of high-quality fertility care services is one of the core elements of reproductive health. These recommendations are also presented in the guideline chapters, accompanied by explanations for the judgements, appropriate diagnostic flow charts and treatment algorithms. The WHO guideline is the vehicle that helps the IFFS in its mission, Fertility rates are falling globally. IFFS has launched the #MoreJoy campaign to tackle this problem. As a Non-State Actor (NSA) IFFS promotes and develop educational initiatives in the field of reproductive health in support of World Health Organization (WHO) aims and objectives and the renewed focus and prioritization the WHO has given to infertility as a disease.
