Rose Du Rouge Educates NYSC Corps on Infertility Awareness

Rose Du Rouge, a reproductive health-focused non-governmental organization, conducted a fertility health awareness session for NYSC Corps members at the NYSC Orientation Camp in Iseyin, Oyo State, on August 19, 2026. Dr Ogbu, a volunteer doctor with Rose Du Rouge, led the session, which aimed to educate young people on the causes, risks, and prevention of infertility.

The initiative emphasized the need for early fertility education, allowing individuals to have informed discussions with healthcare professionals in the future. The session explored various factors affecting reproductive health, including health conditions and common misconceptions.

A key message conveyed was that infertility is not solely a woman's issue, as challenges can arise from either partner or remain unexplained. This approach seeks to empower young Nigerians to understand their reproductive health proactively rather than waiting until infertility becomes a pressing concern.
