The practice of IVF has grown rapidly in the last few years. If for some reason a woman is unable to become a mother, then this process is a technical boon for her. World IVF Day is celebrated every year around the world to make the victims aware of this technique to get rid of the problem of infertility. Let us know when the celebration of this day started.
