Japan
In Japan, assisted reproduction is governed largely by the professional guidelines of the Japan Society of Obstetrics and Gynecology (JSOG), which registers facilities and runs a public facility search. Since 2022, IVF and ICSI have been covered under public health insurance.
How care is organised
Fertility care in Japan is provided by registered facilities. Since April 2022, IVF and ICSI have been covered under public health insurance, reportedly with eligibility conditions such as an age limit and cycle-number limits, and with donor reproduction excluded. Because these thresholds change, confirm the current rules officially.
Regulation and finding a clinic
Assisted reproduction is governed largely by the self-regulatory guidelines of the Japan Society of Obstetrics and Gynecology (JSOG), which registers facilities and runs a public facility search you can use to find registered units. National health policy and public insurance sit with the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare.
