As published in "Israel Today", fertility treatments will resume next week: in the first phase for 39-year-old women, excluding fetal return. Women aged 35 and over will be able to receive clinic treatments - without egg-sucking or embryo freezing. Patients will undergo corona diagnostic tests before starting any treatment.

The Ministry of Health this morning released guidelines on the matter to hospitals, HMOs and the administrators of the IVF. According to the instructions issued by Dr. Veraz Ezra, the head of the medical department at the Ministry of Health, "the activity will begin in a gradual manner, with monthly monitoring the expansion of indications for treatment with the aim of returning to normal activity within 3 months."

According to the guidelines, 39 years of age or older will be able to return to IVF treatments in hospitals, including egg pumping. Embryos will be returned in exceptional cases. Aged 35 and over can only be treated at community outpatient clinics and undergo insemination only. This is all provided the patients are visually impaired and do not suffer from background illnesses such as hypertension, diabetes, chronic lung disease or overweight.

Cancer patients are eager for treatments to preserve their fertility (before chemotherapy) can continue to do so. The Fertility and Gynecology Unions have sent the fertility doctors the new procedure for returning to the routine of fertility treatments. Noting that "the work procedures will allow staff and patients to safely return to normal from next week."

Yesterday, the Corona Committee in the Knesset heard the chairman of the committee MK Ofer sent "Why IVF requires special guidance?" Dr. Ezra replied that "There is concern about an operation being done on a woman who does not know she is ill. I am talking about invasive treatments. The complications can be great. In most of the world IVF discontinuations are among the first to do so. Freezing embryos, for example, can damage other embryos in the container. Therefore, everything has to be done considering the strong desire for continued attempts to conceive and, on the other hand, to maintain the safety and health of the mother and the newborn. "
