Also, the two members of the infertile couple or the single infertile woman must have the quality of insured/insured in the social health insurance system in Romania. The age of the demanding woman must be between 20 and 45 years.

“I will always promote and always support the initiatives dedicated to supporting families in their efforts to have children, thus providing important support for strengthening the family and increasing birth to Romania. I want this program to continue, because it is a necessary program, as long as infertility remains a real problem in our country“Said Simona Oprescu, the Minister of Labor, Family, Youth and Social Solidarity.

The support is granted in the form of two vouchers, in the amount of 15,000 lei. Thus, a voucher worth 5,000 lei will be intended for the purchase of specific drugs, and the second voucher, in the amount of 10,000 lei, will be used to pay the prescribed medical procedures. The vouchers will be granted in the chronological order of the submission of complete and declared eligible files.
