ART Innovations: Fostering Women’s Psychophysical Health between Bioethics Precepts and Human Rights

Infertility is a highly relevant global issue affecting the reproductive health of at least 15% of reproductive-aged couples worldwide. The scope and severity of the infertility problem is even more prevalent in developing countries, mostly due to untreated reproductive tract infections (RTIs). Infe...
