The long-held biological fact that child bearing by women ended with menopause is now old wives' tale as science has broken that barrier, with no more age limit to the reproductive capacity of the female gender.
A consultant gynaecologist and vice-chairman, Nisa Premier Hospital, Abuja, Dr. Ibrahim Wada, stated this while answering questions from THISDAY recently. Wada, who spoke against the backdrop of the Nigeria Fertility & IVF Conference coming up on 27 September, said with assisted conception, women in their 60's had given birth. Meanwhile, the United States Agency for International Development, USAID, in conjunction with MCHIP, has presented neo-natal anatomic models and resuscitation equipment to the National Primary Health Care Development Agency, NPHCDA.
