With confinement, families were forced to stop their medically assisted procreation (MAP) journey. However, this act is reimbursed by Social Security until age 43. For women who have exceeded the age limit for care during the crisis, PMA will be well taken care of, promised the Minister of Health Olivier Véran on Wednesday.
"I do not see how we could not make a gesture towards these families and reimburse the management of PMA insofar as it would be deferred for a few weeks or even a few months if necessary," he told during a hearing by the Senate Social Affairs Committee. "I answer you without having any arbitration or without having discussed it around me, but at least it will have the value of a ministerial decision," he said, in response to Loire-Atlantique senator Michelle Meunier .
No solution for LDCs abroad
This provision only applies to "families benefiting from a PMA course in France", added Olivier Véran. Concerning the families engaged in an LDC journey abroad, "I have no solution, alas, to offer", since "we are not in a legal situation at the time I speak to you" "As long as we have not passed the bioethics law, reason why we must vote the bioethics law", he declared, recalling that the European borders would reopen on June 15.
The bioethics bill, which notably authorizes the PMA for single women and female couples, was voted at first reading in the Senate in February, but the parliamentary agenda upset by the coronavirus crisis prevented its examination at second reading. .
This examination will take place "as soon as the sanitary conditions" will allow "to gather a maximum of parliamentarians" in session, said Olivier Véran Tuesday during the session of questions to the government in the National Assembly, if possible in July and otherwise in September.
