Conceptia Fertility Clinic celebrates 15 Years!
The Conceptia Clinic, which is the only fertility clinic in New Brunswick, offers a range of services including, among others, in vitro fertilization and intrauterine insemination. Since opening, the clinic has assisted couples in the province, as well as those from Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia, in their desire to start a family.
"According to the most recent statistics, one couple in six is affected by infertility. It is a difficult experience for couples living with this situation, but in today's world the subject is discussed more and more and an increasing number of resources are available" affirms Nadine Martin, Clinical Director at Conceptia.
In July 2014, the New Brunswick government announced an aid program for infertility treatment. These funds allow for reimbursement up to $5000 for in vitro fertilization or intrauterine insemination, as well as pharmaceutical products related to these treatments. The Conceptia Clinic wishes to acknowledge this generous government initiative, noting the positive effect these funds can have on couples facing the financial stress of treatments. "This is an important initiative not only for couples living with infertility, but also to help build a younger population in New Brunswick. In fact, increasing the birth rate in a province that is experiencing an aging population is critical to the economic health of that population" adds Ms. Martin.
