Experiences of female clients in the assisted reproductive technology process in Nigeria.
Though assisted reproductive technology (ART) has been a source of hope for many infertile couples, it is known to be associated with physical, social, psychological, and ethical challenges in different settings. ⋯ Cost of ART remain unaffordable to most Nigerians hence the need for government subsidization and in-corporation of ART services into the National Health Insurance Scheme. Additionally, lack of adequate information disclosure, shared decision-making and gendered suffering are areas of great concern among the study participants.
