International Federation of Fertility Societies

The International Federation of Fertility Societies (IFFS) is an organization representing international reproductive medicine societies and is committed to all women and men having access to quality fertility and reproductive health care. The recent decision of the Supreme Court of the United States, Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, creates concern that women and men needing a range of reproductive health services will have access impeded. IFFS supports actions that ensure access to reproductive care for everyone.
