Furthermore, unethical practices such as paid advertisements and promos are being conducted without due recourse to extant laws and guidelines. Reports of extortion, unorthodox practices and even incompetence abound and have now reached alarming and totally unacceptable levels
All facilities illegaly conducting any advanced medical procedures such as IVF, transplantation, gene and or stem therapy without the duly registered expertise and accreditation to do same are hereby put on notice and should be ready to face the wrath of the law.

Governance structure for such services
Details of ART services offered
