Abstract

From the onset, medical and human rights experts and organisations warned of the immediate and potential impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR). Yet most gave little or no attention to fertilityrelated health care,1 despite it affecting up to 180 million couples worldwide.2 Even before the pandemic, infertility was already one of the most understudied and underfunded aspects of SRHR.
