There are about 12 million infertile persons in Nigeria, which is almost 10 per
cent of the total population. To this group of people, any form of access to
effective treatment is priority. It is their valid or legitimate right in a democratic
society like ours to have this right to life’s treatment. The Nigerian cultural
background of social isolation of infertile couples has made Assisted
Reproductive Technology (ART) practice in Nigeria relevant.
This is the position of the Association for Fertility and Reproductive Health
(AFRH).
