Ontario fertility clinics have large pregnancy success rate differences

Ontario fertility clinics show significant disparities in pregnancy success rates, with some clinics achieving rates 35 percentage points higher than others, according to internal data. This data, collected by a government-funded agency, reveals wide variations in pregnancy rates for publicly funded IVF treatments between 2016 and 2021. However, this clinic-specific data is not publicly available, hindering patients' ability to make informed decisions. Experts advocate for greater transparency, citing the need for patients to access clinic performance data, similar to the U.S., to improve accountability and patient care as Ontario expands IVF access.
