Olaopa Praises Wada's IVF Contributions at Nisa Hospital

Prof. Tunji Olaopa, Chairman of the Federal Civil Service Commission (FCSC), commended Dr.

Ibrahim Wada, founder of Nisa Premier Hospital, for his significant breakthroughs in in vitro fertilization (IVF) births. This recognition occurred during a courtesy visit to the hospital in Abuja on a Friday.

Olaopa noted that Wada gained national recognition in 1999 for his contributions to IVF, which have significantly impacted women's health in Nigeria. He emphasized the importance of addressing the stigma surrounding infertility and the societal pressures faced by women.

Olaopa recalled the late Prof. Claude Ak's remarks about the need for heroes in Nigeria's healthcare sector.

He urged Wada to engage in policy advocacy to further support the health sector, particularly in addressing challenges such as electricity supply and taxation faced by hospitals. Dr.

Mose Shuaibu and Dr. Nonso Ogbueifi, managing directors at the hospital, acknowledged Olaopa's visit and the importance of translating health sector visions into reality.
