Summary/Abstract: In Poland, the in vitro fertilisation method has been used for over 25 years to treat infertile couples. The issues associated with IVF are permanently raised in parliamentary debates. The discussion in the parliament relates above all to the question who could benefit from the refund of the in vitro fertilization method, and on what basis. A statutory solution to the problem seems remote, if only because in the ruling party itself there are two bills and there is no consensus. However, there is one temporary solution, i.e. a health programme of the Minister of Health: Treatment of Infertility by IVF Method.
