Fertility Care Awards

Andreia Trigo
Fertility Care Awards Chairwoman

This last year has been challenging for both patients and professionals in reproductive health. However, some individuals, clinics, organisations, products and services managed to thrive amidst a pandemic and were a great source of comfort and wellbeing for patients. The Fertility Care Award is an opportunity to celebrate these outstanding achievements that have made a difference to patient care.

Jakub Dejewski
European Fertility Society Chairman

In order to promote those organisations which provide their patients with the best care and comfort during fertility treatment, we grant the Fertility Care Award. Faced with the dynamic growth of the fertility market, we wish to appreciate those clinics, organisations, products and services that pay particular attention to the well-being of their patients in day-to-day operations and stand out in this field’s key areas.
