The Fertility Drugs Black Market

The Report

Available for over a year

Babies are big business: more than 35,000 women undergo fertility treatment in the UK each year. With many couples facing a postcode lottery for free IVF treatment on the NHS, some have turned to an illegal market in fertility drugs to make the process affordable. Nadene Ghouri investigates the trade and examines claims that it could lead to women taking big risks with their health.
