From the civil association Concebir they indicated, within the framework of the celebration of the nine years of the sanction of the Law of Assisted Fertilization, that, although this conquest is quite an achievement, there are still many things to improve: in many social works, for example, there is still resistance to treatment coverage. “This anniversary is very important because this law was fought hard and very agreed upon. They were moments of many mixed emotions, but we must always bear in mind that we can continue to improve”, assured the president of the Concebir association, Ana Claudia Ceballos, in dialogue with Radio University.
Likewise, he stressed that everything achieved is the result of a great job by those who came out into the ring 25 years ago: “We owe it to those who traveled this path of comings and goings.” “The rest of us joined later, we are all patient and we said we have to give back a little of everything we got; it is the sum of the wills of many people, but we owe it to them for having walked the streets for so long”, he emphasized.
coverage
Regarding this issue, Ceballos assured that “there is still resistance, but not like in the beginning.” “Medication coverage, despite the fact that it must be one hundred percent, had to come out with a regulation that specified what they had to comply with,” he warned. At the same time, he assured that “it is very hard to continue demanding that something be fulfilled that is already stipulated that it has to be done.”
As for the types of treatment, he explained that when women are relatively young, they access the so-called “low-complexity” procedure, performing artificial insemination. “It’s a very simple technique, a very simple procedure,” she commented, adding that “when low complexity doesn’t work, something more complex happens, and that all happens outside the woman’s body.”
what can be improved
The president of the Concebir association stressed that what can be optimized, in principle, are some regulations. “You have to see how far the letter is clear, for example, if a treatment is for life,” she said. And she emphasized: “A regulation law would be necessary, or also complementary laws; we have to regulate the issue of donation”.
In this context, he also indicated that surrogacy is a technique that is not prohibited, “so technically it is something that is allowed in the country.” “There are many children who were born through solidarity gestation. A law regulating all of this would put a lot of issues in order,” he added. Finally, he assured: “After the law there was a boom of people who wanted to undergo a treatment of this type and the proof of this is that the social projects are not enough”.
