Many couples in Ethiopia struggle with infertility and face challenges with conception due to limited access to specialized healthcare, lack of awareness about fertility issues, and untreated reproductive infections.
The social stigma around infertility leads to emotional stress which results in various health issues. Availability of fertility treatments in Ethiopia is limited, particularly in rural areas. Therefore, proper counseling and awareness is vital in the country.
To address this issue, Medsurge India, in association with Dr. Neha Gupta, a renowned Fertility Specialist from Mediworld Fertility Centre, India, conducted a medical consultation program in Grand Palace Hotel, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, on April 22, 2025.
The primary objective of the program was to provide health education and medical guidance to individuals and couples struggling with reproductive challenges. It attracted more than 30 couples and many of whom were receiving fertility advice for the first time.
Dr. Neha Gupta: Delivering Expert Care
With extensive experience and compassionate approach, Dr. Neha Gupta offered individualized evaluations to each patient and carefully assessed their fertility concerns. Her holistic approach helped the couples to understand their fertility journey in a better way and also empowered them to make informed decisions.
“Our goal with this initiative was to bring hope, clarity, and medical support to couples struggling to conceive, and to educate communities about modern fertility solutions available to them.”- said Dr. Neha Gupta
Building Hope Towards a Bright Future
The response to the program was overwhelmingly positive and many couples expressed gratitude for the opportunity to meet a renowned Indian fertility specialist in their home country. They also shared their thoughts on organizing more programs like this in the future.
With plans for future initiatives, this event marks the beginning of a long-term partnership focused on improving fertility care and health outcomes in Ethiopia.
