South Korea to Expand Fertility Testing Coverage to All Adults Ages 20-49 (KoreaBizwire/31 Dec 2024)

Korea Bizwire reports that starting January 1, South Korea will offer government-subsidized fertility testing for all adults aged 20 to 49, regardless of marital status. The program, part of measures to address declining birth rates, allows up to three subsidized tests across different age brackets, expanding coverage beyond the current focus on married couples. It includes hormonal and ultrasound tests for women and sperm morphology tests for men, with subsidies available only at designated medical institutions nationwide.
