"Ireland's health regulator HIQA has released a new quality framework for publicly-funded donor-assisted human reproduction (DAHR) services. The framework sets standards for safety, ethics, and patient rights, impacting clinics that receive state funding. This is a significant step in regulating a previously under-monitored area of reproductive medicine in Ireland."
