UK's National Sperm Bank ‘Opens Its Doors For Single Women And Same-sex Couples

Single women, men with fertility issues and same-sex couples will now have access to UK's  national sperm bank.

The new service, based at Birmingham Women’s Hospital, is hoping to attract 1,000 regular donors within the next three years.

There has been a national shortage of sperm donors – especially in NHS clinics – while patient numbers continue to rise.

People who want donor sperm often face few options and end up on waiting lists, using unregulated providers or stopping treatment altogether. The new centre will offer a recruitment, screening and banking centre and is expected to meet all donor sperm requirements, metro.co.uk report.
