| Abstract: | A poster presentation regarding the economics of medicine use in in vitro fertilisation. Introduction: A report published by the European Commission in 2007 revealed that the Maltese population fertility rate is steadily declining when examined over 15 years. Following the passing of the Embryo Protection Act in 2012, patients looking to undergo IVF treatment can now opt for a partially government funded service at Mater Dei Hospital (MDH). Patients are still required to buy the medication used in IVF treatment, which accounts for the majority of treatment costs. Aims: A feasibility study for state funded IVF treatment in Malta is carried out to assess the sustainability of incorporating IVF medicines in the local government formulary. |
