Infertility exists across all strata of people, but the treatment of infertility is limited to only the few who can afford the expensive treatment. A center was set up in the Government Medical Hospital for the treatment of infertility and a study was conducted to see the utilization of services after its initiation. To study the utilization and pattern of patients who attend the infertility OPD in Gandhi Hospital. All patients who attended the infertility clinic in Gandhi Hospital during the period January 2019 - September 2019 (9 months). 3549 patients attended the infertility clinic during the study period. 75% of the patients were in the 20-30-year age group. Only 11% of clients had knowledge of the fertile period in the < 20-year age group. In the other 2 groups 42-50% of patients had knowledge of the fertile period. Drugs were given to patients to conceive prior to coming to Gandhi, but many patients did not know what exactly was given to them. Husband semen analysis was done only in 25%. Most of the cases were in the primary infertility group There is need for Infertility cases to be treated in the public sector and the treatment has to be standardized
BACKGROUNDIn its Vision 2015 statement 1 , the Government of India recognises Health for all as a national goal and expects medical training to produce competent "Physicians of First Contact" towards meeting this goal. The Medical Council of India aims to produce a clinician who understands and provides preventive, promotive, curative, palliative, and holistic care with compassion. In its endeavour to reach this goal, the MCI has emphasised the role of self-directed learning or encouragement of a learner-centric approach. A greater emphasis is placed on exposure to primary and secondary levels of care and to Competency-Based Learning (CBE).
