Our vision

This year we are thrilled to announce the first edition of the Pacific Infertility and Fertility Treatment Research Symposium (PIFTRS).

This symposium aims to bring together researchers, clinicians, students, and care providers as well as community elders and members and church leaders to share their expertise, knowledge, and experiences surrounding fertility.

By bringing these different groups together to engage with and learn from each other, we can support the Pacific community into the future through improved fertility-based care, services, and research.
