Abstract
Background: Globally infertility is evidently recognized as of public health concern especially in African countries. In African
societies human reproduction is highly valued and inability to conceive is considered a personal tragedy and a curse for couples,
impacting on the entire family and local community. Stem cells are the new technique in this era against many diseases and disorders.
Aim: The paper reviewed scientific related literature on the effectiveness of stem cells therapeutics in the management of
infertility and its associated challenges especially in African society.
Methods: Various studies employed nonrandomized clinical trials on evaluating the effectiveness of stem cells therapy in the
management of infertility and its associated challenges.
Results: The effectiveness of stem cell therapy for infertility management is becoming more important and some stem cells
have been proven to have the potential for improving the damaged ovarian tissue in vitro.
Conclusion: The paper concludes that management of infertility with stem cells transplantation remains a challenge for greater
clinical application especially in African countries. Recommendation: It is therefore, recommended that Stem cells therapy requires
a great deal of research to treat infertility and this may be impeded by ethical issues in African countries because the use of human
pluripotent stem cell is driven from human embryo or cadaveric fetal tissue.
