Relevant policies and laws of IVF
IVF technology is an assisted reproductive technology, which helps couples who cannot conceive naturally realize their reproductive aspirations through in vitro fertilization (IVF) and other methods. In China, relevant policies and laws on IVF are guided by the National Health Commission, and formulated and implemented with the support of local governments at all levels. The following will elaborate the relevant policies and laws of IVF in China from four aspects.
1. Legal protection of IVF health
In order to ensure the health of IVF, China has formulated a series of relevant regulations. Among them, the most important is the Administrative Measures for Human Assisted Reproduction Technology, which stipulates the implementation standards and regulatory measures for IVF technology. According to the Measures, IVF related hospitals must be subject to strict approval and supervision, doctors must have relevant qualifications and technical levels, and medical institutions must have corresponding equipment and conditions. In addition, the method also stipulates the operation specifications of IVF in embryo transfer, preservation and use of frozen embryos, etc.
In order to ensure the safety and health of IVF, China has also stipulated some prohibitions on sexual behavior. For example, it is prohibited to use human embryos for commercial purposes, to use IVF technology alone by unmarried women, and to choose the sex of the fetus. These prohibitions are set up to protect the rights and interests of IVF and ensure the proper use of technology.
2. Access conditions for IVF
In order to ensure the rational application of IVF technology, China has stipulated the access conditions for IVF. According to relevant policies, the access conditions include the age, marital status and physical health of both spouses. Generally speaking, the age of both husband and wife should be within the range of suitable childbearing age, that is, the woman is generally between 24-45 years old, and the man is generally between 24-60 years old. In addition, both husband and wife should be legally married, and have certain health conditions and fertility intentions.
The establishment of IVF access conditions aims to prevent the abuse and inappropriate use of technology. By setting access conditions, we can ensure the reasonable use of IVF technology and the real needs between couples.
3. Public education and advisory services
In the relevant policies and laws of IVF, public education and advisory services are regarded as important links. In order to provide accurate advice and guidance, many medical institutions have carried out publicity and education activities on IVF technology to popularize relevant knowledge and precautions to the public. At the same time, the government organized a team of experts to provide professional advisory services to the public to answer their concerns and questions about IVF.
Through public education and consultation services, it aims to increase people's understanding and recognition of IVF technology and improve their correct use of technology.
4. Application of TCM auxiliary technology
In addition to modern medical technology, China also encourages the application of TCM assisted technology in IVF. Assisted techniques of traditional Chinese medicine include acupuncture, traditional Chinese medicine conditioning and other methods to improve the success rate of IVF by adjusting the energy balance and metabolic function of the body.
In order to promote and standardize the application of TCM assistive technologies, China has formulated corresponding guidelines and normative documents. These documents specify the operation specifications and qualifications of TCM auxiliary technology to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the technology.
Summary
The relevant policies and laws of IVF in China aim to protect the health and rights of IVF. By formulating relevant laws and regulations, setting access conditions, providing education and consulting services, and encouraging the application of TCM assisted technology, we can ensure the rational use of IVF technology and meet the reproductive needs of couples. Of course, in the future development, we still need to continue to pay attention to the further improvement and implementation of IVF related policies and laws to ensure the health, safety and sustainable development of technology.
