WATCH: Ms Sun Xueling, Minister of State for Social and Family Development, speaks on the age limit for women looking to undergo elective egg freezing and for those donating eggs — which will be raised from 35 to 37 years old.

The change to the policy allowing women to choose elective egg freezing is in line with the latest research showing successful rates of egg freezing for women up to 37 years of age, the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Social and Family Development said in a joint press statement on Monday .

MOH and MSF said that the shift in policy"came after careful consideration, recognising that there may be women who desire to preserve their fertility, because of personal circumstances". in 2022, which set the age limit at 35 years. This age limit was tied to the prevailing age limit for egg donors. , Ms Sun Xueling, Minister of State for Social and Family Development, said: “Having children is a very personal decision.

Ms Sun reiterated that while single women above the age of 21 can undergo elective egg freezing, a woman can use her frozen eggs only if she is legally married and has her husband's consent.“When it comes to conceiving a child, the Government encourages parenthood within marriage," she added.
