60-Year-Old Woman Gives Birth at ABUAD Multi-System Hospital in Groundbreaking Success

In a remarkable medical achievement, a 60-year-old woman has given birth at the Afe Babalola University Multi-System Hospital (ABUAD) in Ado-Ekiti, ending years of infertility and offering hope to many facing similar challenges.

The delivery was made possible by the hospital’s advanced fertility treatments and comprehensive antenatal care at its cutting-edge Fertility Centre, according to Tunde Olofintila, Director of Corporate Affairs. Chief Medical Director Dr Akinola Akinmade highlighted the crucial partnership between ABUAD and Olive Hospital that facilitated this rare success, emphasising that modern reproductive technologies combined with high-quality obstetric care can produce positive outcomes even in high-risk pregnancies.

Equipped with the latest technology and staffed by experienced specialists, ABUAD’s Fertility Centre is able to manage complex maternal cases that often require treatment abroad. Since opening in 2017, the hospital has gained renown for performing advanced procedures including kidney transplants, open-heart surgeries, brain and spine operations, and interventional radiology.

Founder Aare Afe Babalola (SAN) hailed the birth as a milestone not only for the patient but for Nigeria’s healthcare system, reflecting his vision to reduce dependence on foreign medical care by providing world-class treatment at home.

This extraordinary birth stands as a testament to Nigeria’s growing medical capabilities and a beacon of hope for families longing for children.
