Cyprus is spending much more money on help for people who want babies. The government will spend 12 times more money in 2025. This is because more people need help. Also, the government gives more money to pay for this help. This helps people and couples who cannot have children.

The Health Ministry is spending a lot. In 2016, the government spent about €475,000. By 2025, it will spend €5.75 million each year. This money helps people have children. Almost 15,000 people got help. A change in 2021 made more people use these treatments.

This money makes treatments cheaper. IVF can cost a lot. Other checks cost money too. Freezing eggs also costs money. Now, more people can pay for these options. The government also helps with other ways to get pregnant. This can make it better.

The help program is good. Couples can try up to four times. The first try costs more money. Later tries cost less. Women can also freeze their eggs. The state also gives free medicine.
