Practice Standards
The International Federation of Fertility Societies (IFFS) resolved at its World Congress in 2007 to establish a programme of work to develop a series of Practice Standards relevant to Reproductive Health and appropriate to its global constituency. The purpose of this programme is to support one of the key missions of the IFFS, namely to raise standards of medical care in reproductive health. The Practice Committee is chaired by the IFFS Secretary General.
