Specialists from FutureLife clinics GENNET and ISCARE IVF participated in a national expert roundtable discussion focused on delayed parenthood and reproductive health in the Czech Republic.
The event was organized by Charles University, National Institute SYRI and ČTK (Czech News Agency), bringing together leading demographers, socio-economic experts and fertility specialists to discuss one of the most important long-term societal trends affecting modern families.
Among the expert participants were MUDr. Miloš Černý from GENNET and MUDr. Martin Kučera, PhD from ISCARE IVF, alongside researchers and economists focused on demographic development and family planning trends in the Czech Republic.
The discussion highlighted that postponing parenthood is no longer a short-term phenomenon, but a significant demographic and social shift influenced by several factors, including:
• longer education pathways
• career and professional priorities
• economic uncertainty
• changing partnership and family dynamics
• the perception that modern medicine can fully compensate for biological ageing
Experts from FutureLife clinics also shared practical insights from clinical practice, where fertility specialists increasingly see patients seeking treatment at a later reproductive age. While reproductive medicine today can help more patients than ever before, female age remains one of the most significant factors influencing fertility outcomes.
An important part of the discussion focused on prevention and reproductive awareness. Fertility treatment is often only the visible consequence of broader reproductive health challenges. The panel emphasized the importance of education, early awareness and informed decision-making, helping people better understand their reproductive health and options before fertility problems arise.
At FutureLife, we believe that open expert discussion, public education and access to reliable information are essential parts of improving reproductive health awareness across society. We are proud that our clinics could contribute to this important national conversation.
