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
