Experts Flag Misinformation Driving Low Vasectomy Acceptance

Health experts have raised concerns over the persistent low acceptance of male sterilization in India, largely driven by social media misinformation and deep-seated patriarchal norms.

Promoting gender-equitable family planning necessitates aggressive public awareness campaigns to dismantle misconceptions and actively encourage male responsibility in reproductive healthcare.
