YEREVAN, JULY 11, ARMENPRESS: UN Population Fund plans to start a study
next year to find major reasons accounting for growing infertility
rates among Armenian males and females.
The study is prompted by the lack of serious studies of this
subject. According to various estimation, infertility rate is about
30 percent, six-seven percent of which are believed to be primary
infertility and the rest secondary.
According to Garik Hayrapetian, deputy representative of the UN
Population Fund Office in Armenia, statistics about venereal diseases
rate and abortions is not full and needs to be rechecked.
According to Demography and Health Study (DHS), every second pregnancy
ends in abortion.
He said 75 family planning centers, scattered across the country,
can help raise the population's awareness of these issues.
