Health Care for the Infertile: A Sociological Perspective

Abstract

It's no secret that infertility is a major issue in developing countries. As a result, more people are seeking out infertility therapy. As a result of the country's complicated healthcare structure, it has become a taboo subject in India. Even if the need for infertility care is on the rise, unequal access and a lack of knowledge are stumbling blocks. It's a problem that's hit low-income people the hardest, which highlights the need of getting the word out to infertile couples about all the options available to them. In this larger setting, this review article investigates the extent to which infertility is a socially constructed phenomenon in India. It has also focused on the availability of reproductive technology and the availability of infertility therapies within the larger neo-liberal market setting.
