Minister of State for Social and Family Development and Home Affairs Sun Xueling touring the Liquid Nitrogen Room at the KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital's in-vitro fertilisation centre on May 15.SINGAPORE — The age limit for women to freeze their eggs to preserve their fertility will be raised from 35 to 37 when elective egg freezing starts in Singapore on July 1.
Asked why, she pointed out that she had said in 2022 that the authorities would continue looking at medical research and speaking to medical practitioners, even after announcing the age limit of 35. A review of medical evidence has shown that success rates from using eggs from women older than 37 continue to fall, said a press release by the Ministry of Social and Family Development and the Ministry of Health on Monday.
In March 2022, it was announced that women — regardless of their marital status — who are aged between 21 and 35 will be allowed to undergo elective egg freezing, which is done for non-medical reasons.This is a major policy shift as part of the White Paper on Singapore Women's Development.
