Assisted fertilization, 217 thousand births in Italy in 20 years. Over 217 thousand children have been born thanks to medically assisted procreation (PMA) techniques.
The number of treatments carried out each year has doubled, as have pregnancy rates, and procedures using cryopreserved embryos have also increased sharply. These are some of the data collected by the National Registry of Medically Assisted Procreation, established by law 40 at the Istituto Superiore di Sanità and which began its activity in 2005.
