Assisted fertility treatments 2023–2024

The number of fertility treatments remained stable

In 2023, the total number of assisted fertility treatments was approximately 14 500. According to the preliminary data for 2024, about 14 300 assisted fertility treatment cycles were started. This is 1.6 per cent less than the year before.

The number of assisted fertility treatments has been relatively stable in recent years and has stabilized at a slightly higher level than before the corona epidemic. In 2021, the number of treatments was exceptionally high likely because of the release of backlog of health care services caused by the corona epidemic.

According to preliminary data, the public sector performed nearly 22 per cent more treatments with donated gametes in 2024 than in 2019. Compared to 2023, the number of treatments with donated gametes decreased slightly (-4%).

According to preliminary data, the public sector performed 61 per cent of all fertility treatments in 2024. As for fertility treatments with donated gametes, the public sector performed 40 per cent of treatments.

Of all the assisted fertility treatments performed in 2023, 19.9 per cent resulted in a birth. The proportion increased slightly compared to the previous year. Approximately 2920 children were born as a result of the treatments, representing an estimated 6,7 per cent of all children born (5.9% in 2022).
