Don’t stigmatize children conceived through IVF – Gynaecologist

By Web News 836

Couples struggling to achieve pregnancy should seek medical assistance rather than attribute the problem to the woman.

 A gynaecologist, Professor Alexandra Owolabi gave the advice while speaking with Radio Nigeria in Ilesa.

 Professor Owolabi explained that eighty per cent of women trying to conceive should have a positive result within a year, and if not, should seek assistance without further delay.

 The medical expert urged people to desist from stigmatizing children conceived through IVF and their mothers, saying IVF is advanced technical assistance, and babies conceived through it are not different from the ones conceived naturally.

 Speaking on the high cost of IVF, the gynaecologist, however, advised couples to be financially prepared determined, and prayerful to achieve success.

 Inclusion of Health Education into the Nigerian Education Curriculum will go a long way at sensitizing children on health matters.

A keynote speaker at an Education Summit in Ibadan, and a Gynaecologist, Dr Tony Morinho made this known while delivering a paper on Health Education.

Dr Morinho said teaching children about information of body parts, sickness, symptoms and solutions would broaden their knowledge and would as well enhance healthy living.

Earlier, the convener of the summit, Mr. Francis Madojemu said the programme was part of his responsibilities in giving Education sector a facelift.

Mr. Madojemu stated further that teachers were included in the summit because they remained a major factor in the implementations of education policies.

The two- day summit featured lectures, presentations and exhibitions.
