A human sperm bank in Guangdong Province plans to raise cash subsidy for sperm donors to attract more volunteers and charge more on sperm users as the cost of sperm collection and storage has gone up.
Officials with the Guangdong Family Planning Hospital which runs the sperm bank said they plan to raise the subsidy from 3,000 yuan to 5,000 yuan this month to encourage more volunteers to donate sperm, today's New Express Daily reported.
Currently, Guangdong charges only 800 yuan for sperm use, while the cost of each sample is between 9,600 yuan to 13,800 yuan, including health check, sperm test and storage, and subsidy for donors.
"Sperm donation is a charitable act. The current subsidy is not enough for a donor to complete the whole process that normally lasts several months," said Zheng Lixin, vice president of the hospital.
There is no unified standard on financial subsidy for sperm donors. The sum varies from place to place.
"Raising the subsidy can encourage donation and help infertile couples to have their babies," Zheng said.
Besides raising the subsidy, the sperm bank has also applied to the government to raise fee charges.
The hospital said only 20 to 25 percent of volunteers are qualified to donate sperm after the health check.
