[Evaluation of the Artificial Insemination Donor Data Act; data registration not yet in order]

The Artificial Insemination Donor Data Act was first evaluated in 2012, and a second time in 2018. The aim of the most recent evaluation was to gain insight into the effectiveness and side effects of the law. The researchers did not only conduct a judicial analysis of the legislation and parliamentary history; they also visited fertility clinics, they undertook research at SDKB (Foundation for Artificial Insemination Donor Data), and interviewed stakeholders and key people involved in the process. From this, 17 recommendations were made, addressed to the Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport, SDKB, fertility clinics and the Health and Youth Care Inspectorate. Some of these recommendations also affect the actions of fertility physicians and gynaecologists working in clinics and hospitals that perform donor treatments.
