Leadership Beyond Fertility Care: Dr. Rasha Kelej's Journey

Dr. Rasha Kelej, CEO of Merck Foundation, has written an article titled 'Leadership Beyond the Obvious' as part of her virtual Mentorship and Leadership Platform, 'Beyond Power; Leadership, Global Influence and Impact.'

In the article, Dr. Kelej reflects on her leadership journey in creating and driving the 'Merck Foundation More Than a Mother' movement, which aimed to transform fertility care and break infertility stigma.

She shares how she looked beyond the immediate challenges in fertility care to address the deeper social, cultural, and communication barriers surrounding infertility.

Dr. Kelej emphasizes that training doctors alone would never be enough to tackle the issue, and that a broader culture shift was needed to create acceptance for women and couples to seek and benefit from fertility care.
