Who We Are

The issue of fertility among couples is one that is very important in Ghanaian societies.

It is for this reason that the Fertility Society of Ghana (FERSOG) was launched on 23rd September 2016 at the Ghana College of Physicians and Surgeons to harness the role of all stakeholders in assisted reproductive techniques in Ghana.

Membership

The Fertility Society of Ghana is made up of reputable fertility centres in Ghana, health experts, policy makers, health and allied organisations and Allied and Health Professionals and Organisations.

Society's Aim

The main aim of the society is to disseminate information and share knowledge among fellow practicing colleagues as well as provide basic information on fertility to patients and their families. “The Fertility Society of Ghana seeks to partner with all relevant stakeholders to take the first steps towards the development of policy guidelines and regulation of Assisted Reproductive Technology in Ghana.
We seek to lay the foundations for long term collaboration with all partners and stakeholders involved in diverse ways in the care of the couple seeking assistance to fulfill their dream of enjoying the fruit of the womb” he said. He also said that a sub-committee had been put together to work with the Government and other allied regulatory bodies towards the regulation of all fertility centres in the country.
