The renowned Afe Babalola University Ado-Ekiti Multi-System Hospital (AMSH) has officially launched an advanced fertility center aimed at providing high-quality reproductive healthcare to individuals in need. The new In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) center was unveiled on Wednesday, further underscoring the institution’s dedication to offering affordable and effective solutions to the challenges of infertility.
During the unveiling ceremony, the founder of ABUAD, Aare Afe Babalola, SAN, emphasized that the initiative is part of the university’s broader mission to address critical health challenges in Nigeria and beyond. Babalola acknowledged the emotional and societal difficulties faced by couples who are unable to conceive, describing the center as a source of hope for those seeking to start a family.
The IVF center, equipped with state-of-the-art technology, is designed to provide high-quality services at a fraction of the cost typically associated with fertility treatments abroad. Babalola expressed his frustration with the societal stigmas surrounding infertility, recalling times when people were ostracized for being unable to have children. He assured that ABUAD’s new fertility center will offer an affordable, compassionate solution for Nigerian couples, making IVF accessible without the need to travel overseas.
In his remarks, the Chief Medical Director of AMSH, Dr. Kolawole Ogundipe, lauded the opening of the fertility center as a milestone in the hospital’s efforts to provide world-class healthcare services. He highlighted infertility as a global challenge affecting millions of couples, and emphasized the importance of making reproductive healthcare services accessible to all, particularly those in Nigeria. Dr. Ogundipe noted that the center was established to offer both medical and emotional support to couples striving to experience the joy of parenthood.
The launch of the IVF center at ABUAD comes as part of the university’s commitment to the nation’s health and education sectors. With this new facility, the university continues to invest in initiatives that directly benefit society and provide solutions to pressing health issues. Couples struggling with infertility are encouraged to visit the center and explore the comprehensive services designed to help them achieve their dream of parenthood.
With this new addition, Afe Babalola University remains a leader in both healthcare and education, working to alleviate some of the most challenging reproductive health concerns while offering a hopeful and supportive environment for couples across Nigeria.
