GENOA, ITALY, JUN 25 – The Genoa ceremony honors children of same-parental couples, emphasizing social recognition of diverse families amid rising fertility treatment births in the UK, now one in 32, HFEA said.
- In 2023, around 21,000 children were delivered through IVF in the UK, with more than 52,000 individuals undergoing upwards of 77,500 IVF procedures at authorized fertility centers.
- This increase compared to 8,700 IVF births in 2000 reflects rising fertility treatment use driven by older parenthood and fertility issues.
- IVF births accounted for 3.1% of all UK births in 2023—equivalent to one in 32 babies—and 11% of births for women aged 40-44.
- The proportion of IVF procedures funded by the NHS declined from 35% in 2019 to 27% in 2023, with considerable regional variation, ranging from a high of 54% in Scotland to a low of 24% in England.
- The data highlights IVF's growing role in UK families but raises concerns about unequal access and lower birth rates among Asian and Black patients.
