Reproductive Health; A Case-based Approach to Management

Subfertility and infertility affect between 8% and 12% of couples of reproductive age; approximately 200 million globally. In sub-Saharan Africa; subfertility varies by country; with a prevalence between 9% and 30%. The cultural preference for high fertility in many sub-Saharan African societies results in a negative perception of subfertility and infertility. The associated socioeconomic and psychological consequences are significant. Infertility and subfertility are treatable conditions with options for assisted reproductive therapy.
