8% of couples face infertilityVietNamNet Bridge – The country’s infertility rate currently stands at about 8 per cent of Vietnamese couples, experts say, indicating that infertility is a major task for the obstetrics and gynecology sector in Vietnam. The figure of 8 per cent means that at present one million Vietnamese couples are struggling with infertility. This increases the risk that they will turn to unsafe or unlicenced practitioners, where one of the complications they may face is infertility. Among the one million infertile Vietnamese couples, 50 per cent are under the age of 30. The National Hospital of Obstetrics and Gynecology’s Infertility Department reported that 10 years ago, the department only received two to three couples per day with problems related to infertility.
