It’s National Fertility Awareness Week
A wide range of experts will be available to engage with attendees.
Annual National Fertility Awareness Week (NFAW) takes place from July 18 to 24.
Saskia Williams, founder member and CEO of the Infertility Awareness Association of South Africa, says, “National Fertility Awareness Week’s mission is to break the silence around the fertility issues that more than 15% of South Africans face when it comes to building their families.
“Different topics will be discussed every day and the week culminates in Fertility Show Africa, Africa’s biggest event dedicated to fertility.”
Some of the topics to be included in NFAW include encouraging discussions around fertility matters from a young age, questioning why so many medical aids don’t cover this recognised disease, how the subject should be covered in the high school curriculum, fertility policies in the workplace, and where to begin when struggling to conceive.

Live Events CEO and FSA organiser Heidi Warricker says, “All the points raised in the National Fertility Awareness Week will be covered in the various talks that we have lined up for the event so it’s the perfect climax to the week’s activities.
“Because many of those suffering from infertility prefer some level of privacy and confidentiality, we will also have an online event running in tandem with the physical show, which will allow visitors from other parts of the country and the rest of the world to take part.”
FSA is aimed at those actively seeking answers, solutions and treatments for infertility and attendees will have the opportunity to consult with a wide range of clinicians, experts including doctors, embryologists, psychologists, nurses practitioners, fertility clinics, legal advisors, support groups, surrogacy specialists and adoption and donor agencies, as well as natural fertility solutions, complementary and alternative therapies and nutritional and lifestyle advisors.
