800k is not cheap. Even 500k is still not cheap. When all D Hospitals now provide this IVF service, it will reduce to 250k by force. Soon enough

There are universities and there are universities.

Ubth is one of the pioneer leaders in IVF in Nigeria.

Besides, Nigeria is overpopulated, people should learn to adopt.

Stop talking nonsense. I was the embryologist that did the procedure. Out of the patients treated, she alone made it. So please we never borrow babies.
