PHOTO: 60-Yr-Old Nigeria, Mrs Omolara Irurhe Gives Birth In Lagos - Makes Her The Oldest IVF Mother In Africa

There is hope for women who think age is a big barrier to their conception.
A 60-year-old Nigerian woman just gave birth to a baby girl at a hospital in Lagos.

After 31 years of childlessness, Mrs Omolara Irurhe, a 60yrs old woman, has just been delivered of a baby at a Lagos hospital. For 31 years, she was globe-trotting in search of a child. She was a guest in the best hospitals. But in 2010, her journey ended in the....
most unlikely hospital and country when she began an Invitro Fertilization (IVF) treatment at the St. Ives Hospital in Lagos.

This past Monday, what began as a seed hope four years ago culminated in the delivery of a bouncing baby girl.

Mrs. Irurhe becomes the oldest IVF mother in Africa. The global recognition for oldest IVF delivery goes to Rajo Deri Lohan, an Indian who in 2008 was delivered of a baby at 69 years.

The IVF Unit at St. Ives Hospital successfully aided the conception and delivery of the baby and has now equaled the United Kingdom’s record of IVF age delivery.

The team of doctors at the hospital was led by the Chief Medical Director, Dr. Tunde Okewale, who expressed joy at the successful delivery. Okewale said the physical condition of the mother – and not just the age – is a major factor that determines the success of conception and delivery through IVF.
