In recognition of World IVF Day, Making Families Surrogacy Limited, an Ibadan-based surrogacy agency, has announced a 16% reduction in the cost of IVF procedures for a 30-day period from July 30 to August 30, 2026. This initiative aims to address the financial barriers many Nigerian couples face in accessing fertility treatments, as most such procedures are paid out-of-pocket with limited insurance coverage. Dr. Peace Mmewurum, a Fertility Counselor at the agency, emphasized the importance of affordability in encouraging couples to seek help. During this promotional period, the agency will also release a comprehensive guide detailing surrogacy costs to combat misinformation and assist intended parents in making informed decisions. Infertility affects approximately 1 in 4 couples in Nigeria, and the agency is committed to improving access to ethical surrogacy services. Feedback will be monitored throughout the campaign to evaluate its impact on care accessibility.
