What makes PUAH unique?
PUAH has a unique and versatile approach to building healthy families. PUAH advisors possess extensive knowledge of medical and mental factors affecting individuals suffering from infertility as well as the intricacies of halacha (Jewish law). We are dedicated to helping each and every client access the best care without ever compromising Jewish law. PUAH's expertise has been recognized by rabbis and medical professionals worldwide.
How much do PUAH services cost?
In order to alleviate the heavy financial burden for individuals undergoing fertility challenges, every effort is made to minimize the cost of PUAH services. PUAH proudly provides fully subsidized invaluable services. These services are available thanks to our generous donors throughout the Jewish community worldwide. PUAH is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization.
Does PUAH provide financial assistance to individuals undergoing fertility treatment?
PUAH has partnered with many labs across the world to create the PUAH Preferred Network. This partnership allows for discounted rates and concierge care for PUAH's couples. PUAH also has a fertility fund that helps qualified applicants navigate through this expensive journey.

Who turns to PUAH?
PUAH receives phone calls daily from callers across the entire world.

What are the most common issues that PUAH deals with?
It is impossible to identify "the most common issues" due to the extremely wide range of questions that PUAH receives. Fortunately, PUAH has dealt with such a myriad number and broad spectrum of issues over the past 30 years that we are qualified to deal with a large variety of questions, including primary infertility, secondary infertility, male factor infertility, fertility preservation, high-risk pregnancy, recurrent pregnancy loss, genetics, taharat hamishpacha intimacy and more.
I heard that PUAH provides supervision. What is supervision and why is supervision necessary?
For all fertility treatments that involve genetic material (sperm, ova, embryos) that may be used to achieve a pregnancy a halachic supervisor must be present. These supervisors are specially trained and are highly knowledgeable about the medical process as well as the relevant Jewish laws. All aspects of the lab work are overseen, including sample washing, centrifugation, freezing, and loading of pipettes. When samples need to be incubated or stored they are locked in dedicated incubators, storage tanks or in separate sections of a larger unit. An embossed seal is also affixed to ensure that no possible mistake can be made. To date, almost 50 mistakes have prevented by the PUAH supervisors worldwide. Each case is analyzed to improve future supervision. Click here for more information about supervision or to order supervision.
What does PUAH's educational program consist of?
Proper education about fertility, medicine and halacha is important to help you and others on the path to building a healthy family. We offer a wide variety of courses, lectures and seminars for couples, medical professionals and rabbis, as well as the community at large. Click here to learn more.
