International Day of Action for Women’s Health: The Right to Be Heard, Supported, and Respected

Every May 28, the world comes together to commemorate the International Day of Action for Women’s Health, a date that not only sheds light on the medical inequalities many women face, but also demands their right to comprehensive, dignified, scientific, and empathetic care.

At Ingenes, this date is not just a symbolic commemoration—it represents our daily commitment to every woman who walks through our doors seeking an opportunity, an answer, or a new beginning. It is a chance to reaffirm that reproductive health is health, and that every story deserves to be treated with humanity and knowledge.

Comprehensive Health: Beyond a Diagnosis

Talking about women’s health cannot be limited to statistics, clinical studies, or medical treatments. It means recognizing the individual story behind each patient, her emotional context, her fears, and her desires.

The Emotional Weight That Can’t Be Seen

Many women arrive at consultations carrying years of frustration, unanswered questions, or poorly communicated diagnoses. Some have been ignored, others have received inadequate treatments, or have simply been treated as numbers within a protocol.

At Ingenes, we firmly believe that comprehensive health begins with listening without judgment, validating every emotion, and building a medical plan based on trust. Because the body and mind are deeply connected, and no treatment can fully succeed without considering the emotional well-being of the patient.

Reproductive Health Is Also Women’s Health

Access to fertility and assisted reproduction services should not be seen as a luxury or a privilege for a few. It is an essential part of a woman’s health and reproductive autonomy.

Realities That Deserve Visibility

Women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) who have been underestimated for years.
Patients facing endometriosis who’ve had to hear that their pain is “normal.”
Cancer survivors who lost their fertility without knowing there were options to preserve it.
Single women who want to start a family without a partner.
Same-sex female couples seeking access to methods like ROPA without being questioned.

All these stories are part of daily life at Ingenes. And all of them deserve to be heard, cared for, and supported with science and respect.

Infertility: A Medical Condition, Not a Fault

In the context of this day, it is also urgent to continue demystifying infertility. It is not a sentence, a punishment, or something to be ashamed of. It is a treatable medical condition that can have multiple causes, many of which are preventable or manageable with the right approach.

Infertility affects at least 1 in 6 people worldwide according to the WHO. Yet many women still face it in silence, for fear of being judged or because they feel they must carry the responsibility of the process alone.

Technology and Support: When Science Is on Your Side

In our 20 years of experience, we’ve learned that reproductive health is not just about achieving pregnancy, but about doing it in an informed, safe, and emotionally supported way.

At Ingenes, every patient receives a personalized plan that includes:

• High-precision medical diagnosis
• Psychological support from the first consultation
• Specialized nutrition
• Access to technologies like IVF, PGT-A, egg vitrification, and innovative treatments like IVF MORE®
• Inclusive processes for all types of women and families

Complex Cases, Real Solutions

Our experience with women who have undergone failed treatments at other centers, with premature ovarian failure, low ovarian reserve, or oncological history, has taught us that the combination of science and empathy transforms realities.

Today We Celebrate Your Right to Choose

This May 28, we raise our voices for all the women who have been ignored, underestimated, or misdiagnosed. For those who’ve had to explain more than once their decision to become mothers… or not to.

Because the right to decide over one’s own body also includes motherhood, when it comes from a deep desire and not social pressure.

Every Path Is Valid

If you want to wait, freeze your eggs, and go through other life stages first—you have the right.
If you want to start a family without a partner—you have the right.
If you’ve been trying for years and still haven’t lost hope—you deserve support and real solutions.

What We Do at Ingenes to Care for Every Woman’s Health

This International Day of Action for Women’s Health is also an opportunity to share what we do at Ingenes as part of our commitment:

• We offer in-depth diagnostic evaluations that consider not only the physical aspect, but also the emotional and social context.
• We provide professional psychological support before, during, and after each treatment.
• We have a multidisciplinary team at every branch working together: doctors, reproductive biologists, nutritionists, psychologists, and nursing staff.
• We promote inclusive programs for single women, same-sex couples, and people with non-traditional reproductive stories.
• We create informative and educational campaigns to eliminate stigma around fertility.

Conclusion: For You, for All

Women’s health must be addressed with an integral, respectful, and empathetic approach. Because it’s not just about diagnoses—it’s about life decisions. Because the most effective medicine is the one that understands that the female body is not a machine, but a living story that deserves to be understood.

At Ingenes, we are with you every step of the way. Not just as a fertility institute, but as a safe, reliable, and human space.
Today we celebrate your right to be heard, supported, and respected.

And we always will.
