International Federation of Fertility Societies Supports Individuals Globally with Fertility Plans During the Pandemic
IFFS saw the need for information that reaches a global audience, thus creating the infographics offered in a variety of languages.
MOUNT ROYAL, N.J. (PRWEB)
October 14, 2021
The International Federation of Fertility Societies (IFFS) created a global infographic campaign aimed at providing support to individuals around the world who are looking to safely start or resume their fertility plans during the COVID-19 Pandemic. The initiative offers the public resources in over 20 languages, with the goal of answering questions and addressing concerns related to fertility care during the current health crisis.
The purpose of the campaign, specifically the infographics, is to give confidence to initiate conversations with healthcare providers, discuss specific concerns, and decide if now is the right time to explore fertility diagnostic tests and treatment options. Due to the limited availability of resources in many areas, there are countries who lack tools that provide useful information to individuals who are planning to have a baby at this time. IFFS saw the need for information that reaches a global audience, thus creating the infographics offered in a variety of languages. The patient resources include pregnancy-related questions to ask their healthcare provider and to, at the very least, help start the conversation so many are unsure of how to start.
The varying assets were developed by IFFS, with support from Abbott, Ferring Pharmaceuticals, Guerbet, and Merck KGaA. The campaign can be utilized and shared by healthcare providers and individuals. In addition, organizations are invited to promote the campaign and its messages via social media and other appropriate outlets. Resources can be printed, downloaded, or shared digitally. The infographic was created in over 20 languages to ensure maximum audience reach.
The Federation will be monitoring and utilizing the hashtag #THINKINGOFHAVINGABABY and encourage like-minded organizations to do the same when sharing the materials. To engage directly with IFFS, email secretariat@iffsreproduction.org. Healthcare professionals are encouraged to sign up for IFFS updates and alert s for this and other campaign news and information.
