Nordica Fertility Centre Advocates for Wider Access to HIFU Treatment for Fibroid in Nigeria
Nordica Fertility Centre's Chief Medical Director, Dr. Abayomi Ajayi, urges the Nigerian government to enhance access to High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) treatment for fibroid and adenomyosis among women. Dr. Ajayi highlights the success of HIFU treatment in delivering safe and effective results but notes the financial barriers hindering wider access.
Nordica has taken steps to make the treatment more affordable, including acquiring HIFU machines and subsidizing costs. The partnership with the FCTA aims to raise public awareness and address the lack of diagnostic equipment.
Dr. Ajayi stresses the importance of including HIFU in national health insurance coverage to improve women's quality of life.
