N2 - Infertility is a condition with significant psychological, economic, and health implications. Investigations are generally conducted by a primary healthcare provider who then refers to a specialist; however, multidisciplinary care is often required. On occasion, patients move clinics, resulting in time delays and repeated investigations, further delaying treatment and adding to the patient's financial burden. To address this critical issue, FIGO's Committee on Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility (REI) created the Fertility Passport. This passport should be provided to patients experiencing fertility issues so that it can be used during their infertility treatments. It documents basic investigations, diagnosis, treatments, and results. The REI Committee recommends the use of the passport to facilitate the diagnosis and treatment of fertility issues among patients accessing both domestic and cross-border care.
