EPF withdrawal for fertility treatment?


KUALA LUMPUR: The health ministry is mulling over a move to propose to the government that childless couples be allowed to withdraw their savings in the Employees Provident Fund (EPF) to undergo various fertility treatments.

Deputy Minister Datuk Rosnah Abdul Rashid Shirlin reasoned there was a need for such a withdrawal as the cost incurred to undergo in-vitro fertilisation (IVF) was quite expensive.
