Eleven couples with fertility problems will get €2,556.65 each from Haskovo's budget to pay for in vitro (IVF) and in vivo procedures. Haskovo council approved the payments at its meeting today.
A special committee approved the applicants after checking that they meet the conditions in the council's rules. The money goes to an assisted reproduction clinic chosen by the couple, and the clinic must have a contract with the National IVF Fund.
The council's programme for families with fertility problems has run since 2014. It has helped 236 couples since then, and 42 children have been born. Last year 10 couples got help with IVF.
The meeting had 42 items on its agenda. Councillors also approved one-off payments for people in need.
The terms and the documents needed to apply are on Haskovo council's website.
