with the IVF Japan group and the Kishokai Medical Corporation on June 21. 

Addressing
the event, CEO and Chairman of IVF Japan group Yoshiharu Morimoto voiced his
hope that Japan’s integrated medical programme will soon be applied in Vietnam

The
programme is a combination of modern and traditional medical practices,
including acupuncture and herbal medicine.

artificial intelligence.

Vietnam’s
infertility rate currently stands at about 8 percent of couples, experts say,
indicating that infertility is a major task for the obstetrics and gynaecology
sector in the country.

The
figure of 8 percent means that at present one million Vietnamese couples are
struggling with infertility.

among the countries with the lowest fertility rates and highest infertility
rates.-VNA
