Joyce Bawah Mogtari, a former deputy minister of transportation, has urged for laws to control assisted reproductive technology in the nation.
Additionally, she has given the public the advice to thoroughly research the facilities and the medical professionals in charge before using the services of reproductive centres, especially those who do so.
Mrs. Mogtari, a lawyer, claimed that some of the facilities professed all kinds of impractical solutions to practise what was not medically available at the risk of patients' lives at the unveiling of a new building to house the Chosen Hospital and Fertility Center at Tetegu in the Ga South Municipality.
We have medical professionals that claim to be gynaecologists and fertility specialists. Numerous fertility clinics are opening up around the nation, but undoubtedly not all of them get the positive evaluations we hope for. I'm hoping the Medical and Dental Council of Ghana will control them," the woman said.
The Chosen Hospital and Fertility Centre, which opened its doors in 2018 as All Faith Medical Centre Fertility Clinic, offers both fertility therapy and other medical services.
clinics for fertility
The term "assisted reproductive technology" refers to fertility treatments and procedures that can aid in cases of infertility or difficulty conceiving. The purpose of fertility clinics is to help couples and occasionally single people who wish to have children but are unable to do so naturally due to medical issues.
To produce conception and pregnancies, the clinics use a variety of diagnostic tests and occasionally quite cutting-edge medical procedures.
Ovulation inducement, surgical procedures, artificial insemination including intrauterine insemination (IUI), in vitro fertilisation (IVF), or the use of an egg or sperm donor are all possible forms of treatment.
The assisted reproductive technology treatment in a fertility clinic that is most well-known is in vitro fertilisation.
observant care
Dr. Gordon Attoh, the center's medical director, said that the facility had performed over 1,200 IVF cycles and had given birth to over 650 children using the technique. He explained that infections that obstruct the fallopian tubes in women and poor sperm counts in males are two of the main reasons of infertility.
Assurance
Tina Mensah, deputy minister of health and member of parliament for the Weija Gbawe Constituency, made a commitment in a statement delivered on her behalf that she would be available to the centre for whatever assistance it required.
Isaac Shirlington, a member of the center's board, suggested that men examine their fertility as well, adding that just because they could ejaculate did not make them "man enough."
The Muslim community of Tetegu, the Chief of Dansoman, Nii Danso Ababio I, and various medical professionals attended the occasion.
