Under our Assisted Reproduction unit at Mother and Child Hospital, we offer fertility solutions to couples and individuals needing assistance to have a baby and to test for genetic abnormalities. We provide a range of fertility services and solutions to gynecological problems. These services include IVF treatment using Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI), Intrauterine Insemination (IUI), Pre-Implantation Genetic Testing and other related services.

Assisted reproduction can be a primary infertility treatment for young and older couples. It also treats health conditions such as fallopian tube blockage, male reproductive tract blockage, tubal ligation, ovulation irregularities, endometriosis, uterine fibroids, or impaired sperm function (low sperm count, low sex hormones, low sperm motility). Your chances of having a healthy baby using assisted reproduction depend on many other factors.

During an IVF procedure using ICSI, mature eggs are collected from the ovaries and fertilized in the IVF lab by injecting already prepared sperm cells into the cytoplasm of a mature egg. When fertilization occurs, the zygote (s) is cultured in the incubator for some days, and the resulting embryo (s) are transferred into the uterus.

IUI procedure is carried out by directly inseminating prepared and concentrated sperm into a woman’s uterus when her ovary releases one or more eggs to be fertilized.

Depending on the reasons for infertility, the results of a fertility test, your medical history, and other considerations will determine the best treatment method.

Under Pre-Implantation Genetic Testing (PGT), we offer the following services:

1. Testing for Aneuploidy (PGT-A): Test on embryos created through IVF to screen for chromosomal abnormalities such as Down Syndrome. It will also benefit couples who desire family balancing (sex selection).

2. Testing for Monogenic disease (PGT-M): Testing for single gene disorders such as Sickle cell anemia (SS genotype), Albinism, Cystic fibrosis, and other monogenic disorders. AS/AS couples would most benefit from this treatment.

3. HLA matching (donor Sibling): Testing for Human Leukocyte antigens is a procedure that identifies a healthy and HLA-matched embryo compatible with the sick sibling. After a successful IVF PGT-HLA procedure, the resulting child becomes a sibling donor to the affected child.

4. SR. Rearrangement (PGT-SR Structural): To screen for chromosomal structural rearrangements in couples and thus increase the chance of a successful pregnancy.

We also offer Semen Freezing, Cryopreservation (Eggs & Embryos) services. In addition, we do Transport IVF, which is the shipment of Gametes and Embryos within and outside Nigeria.

Assisted reproduction can be a stretching period. We will work closely with you throughout this journey, providing counselling and medical recommendations. Upon conception, our team of experienced Obstetricians & Gynecologists and midwives will attend to you regularly until birth and after delivery. Our Assisted Reproduction Clinic has a well-equipped lab and seasoned fertility experts to support a successful process.

The Assisted Reproduction Clinic at Mother and Child Hospital runs from Monday to Friday, 9 am to 2 pm at 2, Omole Layout, Ogunnusi Road, Ojodu, Lagos State. Our doors are open for a fertility consultation. You can schedule an appointment by calling our phone line at +234 703 620 2190.

Orthopedics is a branch of medicine that focuses on the care of the musculoskeletal system. This system is made up of muscles and bones, as well as joints, ligaments, and tendons.

A person who specializes in orthopedics is known as an Orthopaedist. Orthopedists use both surgical and nonsurgical approaches to treat a variety of musculoskeletal issues, such as sports injuries, joint pain, and back problems. These conditions may be present from birth, or they may occur as a result of injury or age-related wear and tear.

At Mother and Child Hospital, our orthopedic team diagnose, treat, and rehabilitate people with musculoskeletal conditions or injuries.

Endocrinology is the study of the endocrine system which is responsible for hormones. A hormone is a chemical messenger that travels from one cell to another, helping the different parts of the human body to communicate with each other. Hormones are essential for our every-day survival. They control our temperature, sleep, mood, stress, growth and more.

An endocrinologist is a doctor that treats diseases related to hormones. Hormones are secreted by endocrine glands, such as the pituitary, thyroid or adrenal glands. Some problems with hormones contribute to major diseases such as diabetes, thyroid and pituitary conditions. They also affect some sexual, neurological and bone problems, appetite, obesity and more.

The Endocrinologist is at 2 Omole Layout, Ogunnusi Road Ojodu, Lagos every Saturdays from 3pm – 7pm. Please call +234 703 620 2190 for more times you can visit or for any other information. You can also email clientservice_hq@motherandchildhospital.com.

Endoscopy is a test to look inside the body through a natural or artificial hole such as the mouth, anus or vagina. A thin, long tube with a camera at the end called an endoscope is passed into the body to allow real-time visuals of the inside.

The procedure usually enables the attending physicians to assess the organs with minimal invasion. Endoscopic procedures are for both diagnostic and therapeutic or treatment purposes.

Different Endoscopic procedures such as Hysteroscopy (for the womb/uterus) and Laparoscopy (General abdomen) for diagnosis and treatment are available in Mother and Child Hospital.
