As the largest city in Africa, Lagos is a mega-city with an estimated population of 17.5 million. Regarding women's health care, Lagos seems to be a bit of a mixed bag. On the one hand, contraceptives are available, including emergency contraceptives, throughout the city. However, abortion is only legal under certain circumstances, even in the liberal south of the country, and it seems to remain taboo. As the Nigerian population continues to grow, the government will most likely increase interest in family planning in the yers to come. | As the largest city in Africa, Lagos is a mega-city with an estimated population of 17.5 million. | ||
