This comprehensive and accessible book is designed specifically for nurses working in reproductive health and infertility medicine. Written by experts in the field, it aims to provide nurses, a clear, practical, and clinically grounded guide to fertility and assisted conception. It fills an important knowledge gap and serves as a practical and evidence-based valuable resource for nurses in all areas of fertility medicine.  Covering core topics such as reproductive anatomy and endocrinology, common causes of infertility and assisted reproductive technologies, the book bridges the gap between theory and clinical application. The fertility nurse plays a key role in providing care to those trying to conceive. Their role involves investigation, treatment, and management of early pregnancy through informed, compassionate, and evidence-based practice. There is currently a lack of books tailored to nurses in the fertility sector. This is the very first book on infertility care specifically for nurses. Infertility is a growing field, with 2 million IVF cycles worldwide in 2000, 5 million IVFs done in 2010, 10 million in 2020, 15 million in 2025, 50 million by 2035, and 150 million IVF cycles worldwide by 2050. This trend will result in a significant increase in nursing requirements in this field. There is no nursing training for infertility and IVF, and most nurses learn on the job. It is often a slow process, taking 6 or more months to develop a mild understanding of what is a very complex field.  This book reflects current standards of care and multidisciplinary practice, making it relevant across diverse healthcare settings. Key learning points, and reflective prompts support continuous professional development and enhance clinical decision-making. An essential reference for both trainee and experienced nurses, this book aims to empower practitioners to deliver safe, compassionate, and high-quality care in the evolving field of reproductive health and infertility medicine, equipping readers with the knowledge and confidence required in modern practice.

This book brings together contributions that explore various dimensions of the pandemic from a long-term development perspective. It also analyzes the existing policy responses and the gaps therein, to enable a greater understanding of how public policy – during a pandemic like COVID-19 – can be better aligned with the developmental challenges faced by individuals and households in India. Through its thirteen contributions, the book highlights the connection between the pandemic and development as deep and multilayered, and not unidirectional. It highlights how the existing inequalities and inequities in the system determined who gets impacted and to what extent, and how soon they can recover, if at all. It analyzes policies and programmes that have been implemented based mostly on the immediate pandemic crisis, and responded less to the pre-existing conditions that have shaped socio-economic outcomes. The book would be a great resource to study possible future responses to similar health disasters in a multi-cultural, multi-religion, multi-caste and multi-class melting pot like India.
