Empowering Young People with Fertility Education | Geeta Nargund | TEDxRoyalHolloway

Geeta Nargund speaks about fertility education and why schools need to implement this into their curriculum. Dr. Nargund discusses her personal experiences in treating infertility to highlight the importance of earlier education that aims to prevent such issues. After working as a junior doctor in the UK, Ireland and Singapore, in 1996 I joined St George’s Hospital in London, where I am now am lead consultant for reproductive medicine. In 2000 I founded CREATE Fertility clinics. Our clinics specialise in Natural and Mild IVF which use no or lower dosages of stimulating drugs aimed at protecting the health and safety of women and children and to make treatments accessible.I am immensely proud to have pioneered some of the methods that have made natural cycle IVF more successful. Through collaborative work with my colleagues in Belgiumwe have developed IVF without the need for a full laboratory called “Simplified Culture System " known as "IVF in a shoebox”, which has the potential to make IVF affordable for people in developing countries. I introduced "fertility education" in secondary schools in London after lobbying the UK Education Secretary. I am the President of the International Scientific Society ISMAAR, and have founded UK charities. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
