Primary health care for infertile couple

Abstract

Infertility causes considerable social pressure and psychological stress to many childless couples. As the consequence some of these distress couples have to seek medical assistance. Management of infertility can be done at different health care levels (a) at primary physician contract level which is not usually done in our country,(b) secondary level by gynecologists and (c) tertiary level by few specialists at University or private medical centers. In Thailand infertile couples usually seek specialists' help at large University centers, particularly in Bangkok without being seen or screened by general practitioners first. No trained general practitioner is available to do this duty.
