Karnataka ART scheme aids infertile couples

The state government in Karnataka has sanctioned the inclusion of specific Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) procedures within the AB-PMJAY-Chief Minister's Arogya Karnataka (ArK) scheme. This initiative, commencing on a pilot basis, specifically benefits Priority Household (PHH) card holders.

The approved ART procedures encompass In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF)/Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) with Embryo Transfer, and Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET). This decision aims to bridge the accessibility gap for advanced infertility treatments, recognizing the significant emotional and social distress infertility can cause.

Eligible couples, who are residents of Karnataka and hold PHH cards, can receive this benefit once in their lifetime, covering up to three ART cycles. Key eligibility criteria include clinically established infertility and failure of conventional treatments, with both partners aged between 21 and 55 years.
