There are still three empty spots on the board. I urge the government to fill them as soon as possible to ensure that families struggling with infertility receive the most complete and informed guidance.</p>",

Il reste trois places \u00e0 combler au conseil d'administration. J'exhorte le gouvernement \u00e0 proc\u00e9der \u00e0 ces nominations d\u00e8s que possible pour que les familles qui ont des probl\u00e8mes d'infertilit\u00e9 b\u00e9n\u00e9ficient des conseils les plus complets et les plus \u00e9clair\u00e9s qui soient.</p>"
