The National Social Protection Agency (NSPA) has opened applications for aid to undergo IVF and IUI under the state health insurance scheme, Aasandha.

Introducing Aasandha coverage for IVF and IUI treatments was one of President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu’s electoral pledges which was promised to be delivered within the first 100 days in office. To begin the services, NSPA had formulated the rules and regulations required for it last February.

According to an announcement posted by NSPA, applications will be open until 02:00 pm on May 15. According to NSPA, aid for IVF treatment will be available this year to 100 married couples who score the highest among applicants.
