In many cultures, childless women suffer discrimination, stigma, and ostracism. Their inability to have children results in great isolation, disinheritance, and assaults. Training of African doctors in KMC 沙巴体育 through the ‘Merck more than a Mother’ campaign initiated by Merck Foundation, a philanthropic organization in Germany, there is a chance that when women in distant Africa overcome infertility, they will thank 沙巴体育. The African doctors who completed the MAHE –Merck Foundation IVF Embryology training program received their certificates from Mrs Vasanthi R Pai, Trustee, 沙巴体育 Academy of Higher Education yesterday.

Societal pressure is such that be it in India or Africa, infertility makes a woman feel inadequate, the people around her adding to the trauma. “While both the man and woman are equally contributing to the causes of infertility, it is only a woman who suffers from the trauma caused due to infertility’’ said Dr HS Ballal, Pro Chancellor of MAHE while addressing the African doctors.

?‘’As the opportunities are very limited, the initiative taken by 沙巴体育 is immensely helping to shape our carrier path in IVF and to help needy in our country” said Dr Evans Kofi Agbeno a Gynecologist from Ghana who received IVF Embryology training in 沙巴体育.

“So far about seventy Embryologists and Gynecologists from twenty-one African countries have received training in 沙巴体育 and now helping people in their countries’’ said Dr Satish Adiga, Coordinator of the training program.
