Malaysia is still lagging behind in this field, with the service available only in
the big cities. However, since 1995 the Ministry of Health has taken the
initiative to train more specialists in the field of Reproductive Medicine. This
will inevitably lead to the establishment of more fertility centres in both the
government and private sectors in future.
