According to a report compiled by the doctors at the University of Montreal, approximately $40.46 million can be saved per year by restricting embryo transfer.

The couples opt for in vitro fertilization (IVF) in case they face any difficulty to conceive and the egg and the sperm are fertilized outside the womb followed by its implant in the women’s uterus. At times, the patients chose multiple embryo transfer, an expensive procedure that usually cost around $9500 to $14, 2500 per transfer, in order to increase the chances of getting pregnant.

The researchers analyzed the records retrieved from Royal Victoria Hospital in Quebec to examine the impact of IVF on creating twins, triplets and other multiples and found that the technique has proved its worth to overcome infertility among the people at the same time gave birth to the problem of multiple births, premature babies and health complications.

A drastic reduction in multiple birth rates and related complications is anticipated after the commencement of one-embryo policy. For the same reasons, implementation of the same policy in the United States can claim excellent results because the US doctors perform around 20% more IVF procedures as compared to Canada.
