First Lady Aisha Buhari has urged Africans to change their
perception of infertility in women and also desist from
stigmatising women dealing with the condition.
In a statement by the First Lady’s Special Assistant, Media and
Publicity, Mr. Aliyu Abdullahi, Mrs Buhari made the call during the
high-level panel discussion of African First Ladies on the
challenges of “Building Healthcare Capacity” on the African
continent.
The event was the sixth edition of Merck Africa-Asia
Luminary/More than a Mother initiative organised for African First
Ladies.
The event which was co-chaired by the first lady of Ghana, Madam
Rebecca Akufo-Addo, held in Accra, Ghana.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the Panel also brought
to the fore issues, challenges and solutions to breaking the stigma
around women living with infertility.
Aisha said, “I want to use this opportunity to call on African
societies to desist from the mindset which tends to see women’s
infertility as an abnormal condition.
“And the associated stigmatisation and abuse that usually
characterize such situation that is capable of being addressed
through medical healthcare and modern science,” she said.
