Ng Ling Ling

Ms Ng Ling Ling asked the Minister for Health (a) whether the Ministry tracks the rate of miscarriages from pregnancies through in-vitro fertilisation (IVF) in public hospitals; (b) whether this rate of miscarriages is higher than that of normal pregnancies in the last three years; and (c) whether there are Government-funded clinical studies on measures that can reduce the risks of miscarriages from pregnancies through IVF.

Ong Ye Kung

The Ministry of Health (MOH) does not track the rate of miscarriages from normal and in-vitro fertilisation (IVF) pregnancies. Pregnancy loss from IVF may be due to other factors besides miscarriages.

MOH has embarked on a Pre-implantation Genetic Screening (PGS) study to improve IVF success rates for women with recurrent pregnancy losses. The Ministry is reviewing its clinical effectiveness and clinical safety outcomes to determine if PGS should become a mainstream clinical service.
