This Special collection covers Infertility and fertility treatment options in sub-Saharan Africa. The intention of this collection was to gather articles that present evidence on the magnitude of infertility, its impact on psychosocial well-being of individuals affected by it, and current initiatives (mainly creating access to in vitro fertilization [IVF] care) that can be adopted to address infertility as a major public health problem in the sub-Saharan Africa region.</p><p>The special collection includes 11 contributions.

In the first article, Odhiambo and Muteshi<span><sup>1</sup></span> review existing literature on oncofertility in Africa. Then, Muteshi and Chesire<span><sup>2</sup></span> present prevalence of male infertility in sub-Saharan Africa and suggest on evaluation and management approaches. Next, we present four clinical articles, reporting on studies from sub-Saharan Africa that take a deep dive into the prevalence of infertility, psychosocial impact of infertility, and techniques of IVF care. On the practice of IVF care, Mekuria et al.<span><sup>3</sup></span> discusses valuable data on cost-effective IVF protocols.
