June: Infertility Awareness Month at H.U.B
On the occasion of Infertility Month, the Fertility and MAR Clinic of the H.U.B is running a communication campaign throughout the month of June entitled "Your Fertility, Your Story".
As part of this campaign, numerous activities are being organized to raise awareness and inform the public and healthcare professionals about the challenges of infertility and its management.
Among these activities, the Clinic is organizing a symposium aimed, first, at exchanging with gynecologists on personalized approaches in MAR and, second, with general practitioners on new developments in first-line infertility management.
