Jammu and Kashmir Governor N N Vohra has urged the medical fraternity in the country to pool expertise and involve civil society, NGOs and others to enable affected people to receive affordable treatment for infertility and related problems.
He was delivering the presidential address at the national level conference on 'Advances in Infertility' here today.
Greeting the participants, many of whom had come from various parts of the country, the Governor hoped that the conference would provide a valuable opportunity to the participating specialists to share their experiences and evolve newer approaches which would enable early detection and more effective and affordable treatment for infertility.

He observed that advances in assisted reproductive technologies, such as IVF, could offer hope to couples suffering from infertility.
Vohra noted that the inability to conceive causes untold stress and emotional problems among them.
He stressed the importance of the wealthy segments of the national economy making meaningful contributions to enable research on fertility and artificial reproduction techniques.
