Global Gaps in IVF Care – Duke Initiative for Science and Society
Duke Initiative for Science and Society shared a post on LinkedIn:
“MA in Applied Ethics and Policy candidates, Ruoran Murphy Qiu and Renee M. co-authored a new study with Dr. Wenhui Mao of the Duke Global Health Institute that examines global gaps in fertility care.
‘Toward Global Reproductive Justice: A Universal Framework for Evaluating Equity and Autonomy in In-Vitro Fertilization Policies’ began as a white paper for Robyn Caplan’s Communicating Science Policy course before evolving into a full research study.
By analyzing IVF policies from 24 countries, the team developed the Universal IVF Justice Framework to assess how national policies promote, or restrict, equity and reproductive autonomy. The study found that access to IVF is heavily shaped by economic conditions, geography, and social norms, with significant disparities between high-income and lower-resource settings. The framework provides policymakers and researchers with a practical tool to identify and address these global inequities in fertility care.
Title: Toward global reproductive justice: a universal framework for evaluating equity and autonomy in in-vitro fertilization policies
