A Midwifery Officer at the Greater Accra Regional Hospital (GARH) – Ridge Hospital’s Obstetrics and Gynecology Department, Racheal Hesse Matey, has encouraged men to muster the courage to undergo fertility testing when experiencing difficulties conceiving with their spouses. Speaking at her annual health sensitisation event themed “Infertility and its related obstetrical issues,” Ms. Matey emphasised that in many scenarios, especially in some African cultures, masculinity is closely tied to fertility and the ability to father children, which makes men feel that undergoing fertility test would be a blow to their masculinity or reputation.
