IVF laws in Belarus: age limits, eligibility & donor rules
Belarus regulates assisted reproduction through Law 341-Z and implementing rules. Current treatment-age criteria, single-woman and female-couple access must be confirmed with a licensed provider. Egg and sperm donor programmes require documented screening, consent and donor-information terms. Foreign patients should obtain written acceptance for their exact pathway; public-programme eligibility must be checked separately.
