Artificial insemination and in vitro fertilization treatments were available in 23 and 22 of them respectively. Of the 23 responding countries where ART activities were carried out, these were governed by legislation or national regulations in 12 of them, and 15 had a national registry, to which reporting was compulsory in 11 of them. Only Australia, Nepal, New Zealand and Saudi Arabia allowed ART treatment for both single men and women, while only Australia and New Zealand allowed ART treatment for homosexual couples. In Vietnam, ART treatment was allowed only for single women (but not men) from the same country. In Israel, only single or homosexual women but not men were allowed to receive ART treatment. Government subsidy was available for artificial insemination and in vitro fertilization treatments in 10 and 9 responding countries respectively. Compensation to gamete donors and surrogate mothers were allowed in some countries, mostly on the basis of covering the medical treatment cost and compensation for leave from work.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>There is great diversity in the availability of various forms of ART treatments, their regulations and data\u2010monitoring mechanisms, as well as funding issues, among Asian\u2010Oceanic countries. Availability of ART activities involving donor gametes or surrogacy, or those for nonheterosexual unions, is still limited in this region.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/jog.13742","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,7,30]],"date-time":"2018-07-30T06:39:47Z","timestamp":1532932787000},"page":"1667-1672","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Updated status of assisted reproductive technology activities in the Asia\u2010Oceania region"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"44","author":[{"given":"H.
