• To raise awareness and understanding of treatment options for infertility amongst healthcare professionals and the public
• To assist healthcare professionals in motivating patients to receive treatment for infertility
• To facilitate the dissemination of accurate information about infertility to patients and the public
• To encourage the basic reproductive rights of all couples and individuals to decide freely and responsibly the number of children to have, and when to have them
