Emerging assisted reproduction markets in Southern Africa

这项人类学研究旨在调查南部非洲辅助生殖的全球网络和新兴市场。它将侧重于患者到南非进行辅助生殖的流动性，以及卵子提供者、配子、胚胎和医务人员在非洲各地以及往返澳大利亚的流动性。这项民族志研究包括对该行业发展的分析，对前往南非诊所的国际患者数量的调查，以及对工作人员、患者、配子捐赠者和促进机构的采访。这项研究预计将对跨国界生殖旅行的社会影响提供理论见解，以改进公共政策应对措施。

This anthropological study aims to investigate the global networks and emerging markets for assisted reproduction in Southern Africa. It will focus upon the mobilities of patients to South Africa for assisted reproduction and mobility of ova providers, gametes, embryos and medical staff across Africa and to and from Australia. This ethnographic study includes an analysis of the development of the industry, surveys of the numbers of international patients travelling to clinics in South Africa and interviews with staff, patients, gamete donors, and facilitating agencies. This study is anticipated to provide theoretical insights on the social impacts of reproductive travel across national borders for improved public policy responses.
