The world of infertility is full of compassionate people who have dealt with the struggle of infertility with couples on a deep, personal level.
.
They have felt so touched by their experiences and challenges that they have pursued this career path with passion as is the case of Dr. Abayomi Ajayi, Managing Director/Consultant Obstetrician and Gynaecologist at Nordica Fertility Centre, Lagos.
.
One of Nigeria's most respected fertility experts, Dr. Ajayi is a product of the College of Medicine, University of Lagos, from where he graduated in 1984. He completed his post-graduate training at The University College Hospital, Ibadan in 1994 with the Fellowship of the West African College of Surgeons in Obstetrics and Gynaecology. He joined the services of Lagoon Hospital, Apapa, Lagos as Consultant Obstetrician/Gynaecologist in February 1995 and held this position till October 2002 when he left to start Nordica Fertility Centre, Lagos.
.
Ten years on and with a good number of branches in different parts of the country, Nordica has continued to combat the plague of infertility by providing true 'comfort centres' where the pain of childless couples could be soothed emotionally and medically. They have also set up a non-profit group which gives free IVF treatment to people who cannot afford it. As Nordica celebrates ten years of putting smiles on the faces of couples, Dr. Ajayi takes us on the process of IVF, challenges involved as well as activities lined up for the anniversary.
