VISION

All women and men have access to quality fertility and reproductive health care.

MISSION

To advance fertility care worldwide through high quality education, research, advocacy, and evidence-based practice. 

WHY PARTNER WITH US?

As a Non-State Actor (NSA) in official relations with the World Health Organization (WHO), we promote and develop educational initiatives in the field of reproductive health in support of WHO aims and objectives and the renewed focus and prioritisation has given to infertility as a disease.

International co-operation and dialogue in the field of fertility and sterility can be said to have truly commenced in 1951 in Rio de Janeiro with the formation of the International Fertility Association (IFA). Eminent scientists from various parts of the world became members and the triennial World Congress in Fertility and Sterility was organized, the first in New York, USA, in May, 1953.

At the Sixth World Congress held in Tel Aviv, Israel in 1968, the IFFS was born.

For the past fifty years, the IFFS World Congress has been a hallmark of the reproductive healthcare symposia, offered globally.  We have distinguished ourselves in service to our core mission: to provide global education and advocacy to practitioners in this field.  Join us as we continue to carry this legacy forward in 2019.
