First Successful IVF at JUTH

​JUTH was my "nursing" mother, my Alma mater. About 3 days ago I received news of her first successful assisted reproductive technology that birth 3 healthy neonates.
This is a thing of joy because this has opened a new Vista of hope for the average income earner battling with infertility issues. Africa is wired in such a way that after marriage, couples are by defect expected to have the fruit of the womb within 2 years, failure of which draws inquisition that can range from mild to severe. Women, most times, bear this brunt sadly.

​I have had lots of women reach out to me about the procedure in Juth and the financial implication.
In my small findings, everything is mostly free but the couple or woman may need to source or buy some things needed for the procedure. It is herculean but worth the try. It is far far cheaper than what you would find in the private setting.
The procedure itself is quite free but then investigations, minor procedures to "clear up the way" to the main thing may cost. Procedures such as salpingectomy in case of hydrosalpinx, myomectomy etc may increase the cost but these are all part of the final procedure.
I am told that is Prof Banwat, the chief medical director of JUTH, holding one of the triplets. This must be a remarkable achievement in his tenure as CMD.
I am so happy that very soon, this procedure will be almost completely free that just about anybody can have it done for themselves.
I want to appreciate all the team of doctors in Juth for pulling this feat. From the neonatologist, obstetricians, endocrinologist and just about everyone.
The rural doctor initiative sees a shining light at the end of this dark tunnel. We shall all smile tomorrow.
The rural doctor initiative... Everyone deserves good health.
