However Nordic cooperation in assisted reproduction goes back to the beginnings of IVF. Already in August of 1982 a few pioneering colleagues from Denmark, Norway and Sweden met at Helsingør in Denmark. IVF groups from all the Nordic countries met regularly after that at official Nordic meetings.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width="1/3"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row row_type="row" use_row_as_full_screen_section="no" type="full_width" text_align="left" css_animation=""][vc_column width="2/3"]

The countries that make up the Nordic Fertility Society are the three Scandinavian countries Denmark, Norway and Sweden, together with Finland and Iceland.
