In order to guarantee a high standard of safety and quality in gamete donations in Belgium and to strengthen the supervision of fertility centres in the long term, the Federal Agency for Medicines and Health Products (FAMHP) has drawn up a plan setting out structural improvement measures. This plan was presented to Parliament in April 2026. It follows the crisis surrounding a donor with a genetic abnormality and the finding that the rule limiting the number of families per donor to a maximum of six was not always adhered to.
As announced, the FAMHP is today publishing a progress update on the recovery plan, so that all stakeholders can monitor the implementation of the recommended measures in a transparent manner. This progress report will be updated regularly on the FAMHP website.
View the progress of the plan on the FAHMP website. This page will be updated regularly.
The recovery plan for the supervision of fertility centres consists of 32 improvement measures. Out of the ten measures scheduled for completion by the end of September, seven have been finalised and three are still in progress. With regard to the improvement measures for which a later deadline was set, eighteen are currently being implemented and four have not yet been started.
