Clinics and banks offering in-vitro fertilisation and other related services across India will soon have to maintain minimum standards in qualification of manpower, infrastructure, laboratory and diagnostic equipment. The Union Cabinet on Wednesday approved the Artificial Reproductive Technology (Regulation) Bill, 2020 which will pave the way for mandatory registration of all ART clinics and constitution of a national board for ART.
The board will monitor ART clinics centrally and will be empowered to frame code of conduct for people working at such centres.
The Bill, which was dubbed as a path-breaking by Union Health Minister Harsh Vardhan, has also suggested fixing age limits of 50 and 55 years for women and men, respectively, as reported by this newspaper earlier this month.
