| Abstract | ||
| Background: The World Health Organization (WHO) has considered infertility a major problem in reproductive health. For millions of couples around the world, the ability to have children is a personal tragedy. For a significant proportion of them, the private agony is compounded by a social stigma, which can have serious and far—reaching consequences. It is not surprising therefore that the demand for Assisted Reproduction Technologies (ART) is growing in all regions most especially in the infertility belt of Africa with highest prevalence rates of infertility. The provision of such a highly esoterictechnology in a resource limited countries like ours with poorly developed health services, falling gross domestic product (GDP)coupled with unresolved ethical issues and limited awareness of ART is a great challenge. Hence the need for provision of effective, safe and affordable ART services through collaboration between government and non-governmental agencies via Public Private partnership for the benefit of the teeming population of infertile couples in Nigeria | ||
