France, Belgium, UK, Spain, and Quebec Compared in New ART Funding Analysis – RBMO
Reproductive BioMedicine Online (RBMO) shared a post on LinkedIn:
”This new Countercurrent by Thomas Fréour and colleagues, examines the benefits and unintended consequences of France’s ART funding model, drawing comparisons with Belgium, the UK, Spain, and Quebec.
International comparisons show that universality can deliver both equity and safety when paired with strategic investment, transparent governance, and adaptive regulation, provided that policymakers also anticipate the resulting increase in downstream demand and allocate sufficient resources accordingly.
The paper concludes with propositions of policy recommendations to reconcile universality with feasibility and sustainability.
All our Countercurrent Contributions are made free to read – find it in our May issue, now.”
