Improving The Quality Of Patient Care
ASPIRE, the Asia Pacific Initiative on Reproduction, is a unique task force of clinicians and scientists involved in the management of fertility and Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART). ASPIRE aims to promote awareness of infertility and ART, and to improve infertility-related services in the Asia-Pacific region.
The 14th Congress of the Asia Pacific Initiative on Reproduction (ASPIRE 2025) will be held at the Suntec Convention and Exhibition Centre, Singapore from 1 – 4 May 2025.
The aim of ASPIRE 2025 is reflected by the congress theme: Teaming Together: ASPIRE-Ing to Excellence as we firmly believe that successful team building is a most important key to further progress, leading to the delivery of an ever better standard of care. For that reason, we particularly welcome the participation of nurses and counsellors to interact with us in our congress to help us achieve our goal.
There will be a Bruno Lunenfeld Honorary lecture to be delivered by Professor Joop Laven on “Interrogation of Big (Genetic) Data and How It Changes Reproductive Medicine”, accompanied by 7 keynote lectures on various contemporary topics to be given by outstanding speakers who are experts in their own field. In addition, there are many more stimulating lectures in the pre-congress courses, concurrent sessions, how-to sessions and lively debates.
“We did not hold a live congress for 2 years during the COVID pandemic and I am sure many of us missed the face-to-face interactions during a congress. Singapore is ideally suited for all of us to meet again to renew our ties, friendship and connections. Participants from most countries do not require a visa for short stays and are able to have direct flights. The Local Organising Committee look forward to welcome you to a joyous reunion in Singapore.” Professor PC Wong, Chair, ASPIRE 2025 Local Organizing Committee.

Message from President
Message from President
Our special interest groups (SIGs) continue to grow and flourish and I thank all the leaders who have committed to their new term of office and duties. I welcome particularly our leaders and members of our two recently formed SIGs for nurses and counsellors. The Board has approved the establishment of a SIG in Fertility Preservation to be led by Prof Rong Li.
I thank too, our country representatives who have committed to grow our membership and represent ASPIRE in the countries of the Asia Pacific region. The country representatives will have a vital role in the future of ASPIRE, including the recently ASPIRE-endorsed programme Fertility Counts which we hope will pave the way to the restitution of reduced birth rates in many of the developed Asian countries. I commend Fertility Counts to you, supported by Merck and developed in collaboration with The Economist Update, as a well-researched evidence-based toolkit for implementation across our region.
