REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH: GLOBAL INFERTILITY TREND Professor

چکیده
I am highly delighted to be called upon to give a keynote address in this very important conference and on the theme: “Reproductive Health: Global Infertility Trend”. Initially, I was a bit worried why a Gynaecologist should be called upon to address a gathering of very seasoned Physiologists but when I remembered that the journey to Gynaecology started with Physiology and Physiology is the bed-rock of all Clinical Sciences, I was encouraged that I can come to stimulate discussion. I then looked at the theme of the conference, “Reproductive Health: Global Infertility Trend”; purely gynaecological. This unfolded to me the much clinical orientation our Physiology today has taken, to the great advantage of our medical students.
