Quebec plans to allow IVF for women over 42

Quebec is proposing changes to its in vitro fertilization legislation that could allow women over 42 to have access to the program.

As for now Bill 20 provided for the government-financed treatment to be available only for women between the ages of 18 and 42.

Recerntly Health Minister Gaetan Barrette said the province’s college of physicians will be responsible for determining the criteria to determine who is eligible for the fertilization.

Another proposed change is the abolition of a rule that would have required women to be eligible only after signing a statement saying they had been sexually active for a long period.

Earlier of this year Barrette said the objective was to allow nature to take its course and to ensure that the complex and costly medical procedure was not used unnecessarily.

On May 27, Barrette said the regulation would have been difficult to apply.
