Human reproduction remains the key to offspring and the sustainability of the human species. While becoming pregnant is seen as a happy event, several corollaries accompany its evolution, development and outcome. The involvement of the male partner from conception to childbirth remains a source of joy and fulfillment for the pregnant woman, for the product of conception, for the family and for society. The observation remains bitter in the province of Sud Ubangi in particular and in the Salongo II health area in the ZSUR of Gemena. Barely 7% of married men accompany their female partners to CPN sessions even if the importance of supporting the latter is no longer in doubt. Lack of interest and low income are the factors behind this low involvement. Increasing awareness among men and providing decent wages would be ideal solutions to resolve this thorny issue that impacts on sexual and reproductive health as well as the health of the population in general.

Abstract
Human reproduction remains the key to offspring and the sustainability of the human species. While becoming pregnant is seen as a happy event, several corollaries accompany its evolution, development and outcome. The involvement of the male partner from conception to childbirth remains a source of joy and fulfillment for the pregnant woman, for the product of conception, for the family and for society. The observation remains bitter in the province of Sud Ubangi in particular and in the Salongo II health area in the ZSUR of Gemena. Barely 7% of married men accompany their female partners to CPN sessions even if the importance of supporting the latter is no longer in doubt. Lack of interest and low income are the factors behind this low involvement. Increasing awareness among men and providing decent wages would be ideal solutions to resolve this thorny issue that impacts on sexual and reproductive health as well as the health of the population in general.

Abstract: (french)
La reproduction humaine reste la clé de la progéniture et de la pérennisation de l’espèce humaine. Si tomber enceinte est perçu comme un évènement heureux, plusieurs corolaires accompagnent pourtant son évolution, son développement et son aboutissement. L’implication du partenaire masculin de la conception à l’accouchement reste un motif de joie et d’épanouissement pour la femme enceinte, pour le produit de conception, pour la famille et pour la société. Le constat reste amer dans la province du Sud Ubangi en particulier et dans l’aire de santé Salongo II dans la ZSUR de Gemena. A peine moins de 7% des hommes mariés accompagnent leurs partenaires féminins aux séances de CPN même si l’importance de l’accompagnement de ces derniers n’est plus à démontrer. Le manque d’intérêts et le faible niveau de revenus sont les facteurs de cette faible implication. L’intensification des sensibilisations auprès des hommes et l’octroi des salaires décents seraient des solutions idéales à la résolution de cette épineuse question qui impacte sur la santé sexuelle et reproductive ainsi que sur la santé de la population en général.
