In Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, a multidisciplinary seminar titled ‘El duelo invisible de la fertilidad’ (The Invisible Grief of Fertility) is scheduled for October 17 at the Universidad Católica Santo Domingo. The event aims to address the emotional, medical, and relational impacts of infertility. A panel of specialists, including clinical psychologist Ozary Lluberes and geneticist Dr. Bary Bigay, will discuss mental health during treatment, the role of genetics in reproductive challenges, and the emotional toll of unsuccessful fertility attempts.

Organized by the Grupo Autoayuda Renacer en la Esperanza, the event features a panel of medical, biochemical, and psychological professionals.

The initiative has been declared of provincial, social, and sanitary interest by the Chamber of Deputies of Santiago del Estero.
