The Cyprus government has recently announced a significant increase in funding for infertility treatments, a move that will provide substantial financial support to couples and individuals seeking assistance with reproductive challenges. As of July 3rd, 2024, the funding scheme has been enhanced to cover more treatments and increase the financial assistance available to those undergoing fertility procedures.

Key Changes in the Government Funding Scheme

The revised funding scheme introduces several important changes:

1) Increased Funding for First and Second Cycles of Treatment:

First Cycle: The government has increased funding for the first cycle of treatment, which includes egg retrieval, artificial insemination, and embryo transfer. The financial support has been raised from €3,500 to €4,500 against receipts. This increase aims to reduce the out-of-pocket expenses for patients, making the first attempt at fertility treatment more affordable.

Second Cycle: For those requiring a second cycle of treatment, the funding has been raised from €2,500 to €3,500 against receipts. This boost in support is crucial, as many individuals may need more than one cycle to achieve a successful pregnancy.

2) Enhanced Support for Cryopreserved Eggs Treatment:

Women undergoing treatment with cryopreserved eggs will now receive up to €2,000 against receipts to cover the costs of artificial insemination and embryo transfer. This is a significant increase from the previous amount of €500, which only covered embryo transfer. The expanded coverage reflects a recognition of the growing use of cryopreservation in fertility treatments and the associated costs.

3) Application Process:

To access these funds, applicants must submit their request within four (4) months from the date of the medically assisted reproductive method. This timeline ensures that patients can receive timely financial support, reducing the financial burden associated with infertility treatments.
