Welcome to the International Consumer Support for Infertility (iCSi) network

The vision for the International Consumer Support for Infertility (iCSi) patient leader network, is to empower patients to become full partners in ART healthcare and public policy by building effective relationships with providers, governments and media world-wide.

iCSi Fact Sheets

iCSi has fact sheets in five languages on all aspects of infertility - and we now have factsheets in Japanese! iCSi fact sheets are produced by leading health professionals and infertile people who are dedicated to helping those experiencing fertility problems. Click here for more information.

The Worldwide Infertility Survey needs your help

We are supporting the Worldwide Infertility Survey and ask all members to take a few moments to contribute.  The goal of the project, which is being carried out by researchers at Cardiff University in Wales, is to better understand decision making regarding fertility issues.  Please visit the survey at: www.startingfamilies.com and follow the links.  

Decision making about your embryos

A team at Cardiff University is conducting research into people's experience with having cryopreserved embryos and is looking for your input.  To access the Decision Making about Your Embryos survey, click here.

Patients' Rights Charter

The iCSi patient leader network has partnered the ESHRE Patients' Leader Forum and issued a joint Charter that brings a patients' perspective to global principles for assisted conception and infertility.  Signatories to the Charter will use this document in their negotiations with governments to argue for greater equity of access to quality, affordable treatment.  The process to create the Charter has taken more than three years to give the 39 countries who were invited to give input, ample time to discuss key principles for their cultures and national needs.

Founding signatories to the charter include 32 patients' associations from 25 countries in four world regions.

If your patient association would like to add your voice to the Charter principles please email us: info@icsi.ws

Translations are underway in Hebrew,Italian, Spanish, French, German and Japanese.
