ASPIRE, the Asia Pacific Initiative on Reproduction, comprises a group of clinicians and scientists involved in the management of fertility, including assisted reproductive technology (ART). ASPIRE was initiated in 2001, and through a variety of projects, aims to promote awareness of infertility and ART and to improve the quality of infertility-related services in the Asia-Pacific region.
ASPIRE is a unique task force of clinicians and specialists focused on achieving and maintaining high standards of practice in infertility management in the Asia-Pacific region with the ultimate aim of improving the quality of patient care. Our objectives are:
- To improve the quality of fertility services in the Asia-Pacific region
- To provide a forum for sharing experience and information for professionals from a range of specialties involved in infertility management across the region
- To form a cohesive group to promote infertility management in the region, and to form relations with local and international associations
- To raise awareness and understanding of treatment options for infertility amongst healthcare professionals and the public
- To assist healthcare professionals in motivating patients to receive treatment for infertility
- To facilitate the dissemination of accurate information about infertility to patients and the public
- To encourage the basic reproductive rights of all couples and individuals to decide freely and responsibly the number of children to have, and when to have them
