The Bertarelli Foundation was established in Switzerland
in April 1999. It was endowed and established by Ernesto
Bertarelli and Dona Bertarelli Späth as a tribute
to their father, Fabio Bertarelli, who established the
Ares-Serono Group.
The Foundation was launched on May
10, 1999 at the 11th International Congress on In Vitro
Fertilisation and Human Reproductive Genetics in Sydney.
The Bertarelli Foundation is the first international
foundation to provide a global forum addressing the
broad issues surrounding infertility and IVF.
It was established to humanise the
social and scientific faces of infertility and its treatment.
It recognises infertility as a disease that can be treated
in an ethically acceptable manner with safe and effective
medical procedures that are essentially an 'extension
of nature'.
