The programme is co-financed with funds received from the City of Warsaw.

NOTE: Changes to the Programme
ENROLMENT 2024

Due to changes in the Programme, couples who approached the last publicly funded procedure earlier than 3 years ago can again benefit from the 3 funded procedures.
In addition, we also welcome couples who have had a baby as a result of a subsidised procedure. If they wish to use the Programme again, they now have the opportunity to do so.

If the situation requires it, you will also receive a referral for the tests needed for the in vitro fertilisation procedure. Your doctor may also write prescriptions for medicines - at the same time he or she will explain how they work and discuss the possible risks of taking them.

There is also an opportunity to meet with the Funding Coordinator after the interview visit. The meeting is not obligatory, but we encourage you to attend it. The coordinator will present the rules of participation in the Programme and help you fill in the documents required for eligibility. If you decide not to have a meeting, you will receive the documents to be filled in at the reception desk, and you can contact the Coordinator at any time during your treatment (in person or by phone).
