International Federation of Fertility Societies

International Federation of Fertility Societies The IFFS promotes research, education, and superior clinical care in global reproductive health. Twe

International co-operation and dialogue in the field of fertility and sterility can be said to have truly commenced in 1951 in Rio de Janeiro with the formation of the International Fertility Association (IFA). Eminent scientists from various parts of the world became members and triennial World Conferences in Fertility and Sterility were organized. in 1968, the IFA underwent restructuring and the

IFFS was born. Membership has grown and at present, over sixty National Fertility Societies are affiliated. It is estimated over 50,000 specialists worldwide concerned in the areas of fertility and sterility are brought together under one umbrella organization. As part of its educational outreach, each year IFFS conducts workshops in selected cities in underdeveloped countries, sponsors a Symposium in its International Series on topics of regional concern, and every three years holds a World Congress hosted by a national fertility society from within the federation.
