The newly introduced Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) regulations have implications on the cost of treatment and opportunities of conception.

• The cost of treatment may increase due to the regulation’s directive to improve facilities and maintain records.
• Applying for ART treatment has become more complex as it requires multiple approvals from different authorities
• age limits and number of embryos to be transferred has been set which may affect the chances of conception for older couples or those with recurrent IVF failure.
• the regulations address concerns of unscrupulous practices and exploitation of infertile couples by some providers.
• Patient and provider education about these regulations is crucial to making informed decisions and mitigating misunderstandings during the treatment process.

Overall, the regulations aim to improve treatment outcomes by ensuring quality control and maintaining ethical practices in ART facilities. However, the increased cost of treatment and the potential decrease in conception opportunities add a level of complexity and financial burden to those seeking fertility treatments.
