However, it also acknowledges the tremendous benefits of modern medicine, and it's instrumentality towards solving the problem of infertility among patients all over the world making healthy living and most importantly child bearing possible. This work hopes to show that a synergy between the African methods of medical practices and the modern medical practices in an attempt to curb infertility and other medical challenges.
