TL;DR: Greenplace Healthcare sources and verifies Caucasian (European-ancestry) donor eggs and donor sperm through its vetted partner bank network, and we handle the hand-carry cryogenic transport into Nigeria and onward across Africa. Nigerian clinics no longer need to independently chase down donor banks, verify screening standards, or manage international shipping on their own — this partnership does both halves of that job as one coordinated process.

Why This Matters for Nigerian Clinics
Nigeria has one of the largest and fastest-growing IVF markets on the continent — our own market mapping puts it at over 170 active clinics running close to 19,000 IVF cycles a year. A meaningful share of that demand is for donor-conceived treatment, and a specific, steady portion of it is for Caucasian-phenotype donor eggs and sperm — driven by patients of European or mixed heritage, expatriate communities, and clinics building out a broader donor program to serve a wider patient base.
The honest problem most clinics run into isn't finding patients who want this option — it's finding a donor source that's actually properly screened, and then getting that material into Nigeria without losing viability in transit. Clinics have historically had to solve both problems themselves, dealing directly with foreign banks and then separately trying to arrange shipping. That's the exact gap this partnership closes.
Stop trying to piece this together yourselves. Greenplace Healthcare's partner network already does the sourcing and verification. We already do the transport. Nigerian clinics get both, coordinated as one process.
How It Works
Greenplace Healthcare manages donor sourcing and verification through its vetted partner network of European and North American donor egg and sperm banks. Every donor in the network goes through:
Full genetic carrier screening
Infectious disease testing (HIV, Hepatitis B and C, syphilis, CMV, and others per Nigerian import requirements)
Karyotyping
Psychological assessment and evaluation
Detailed medical and family history review
Physical examination
We (Cryo Medical Logistics) take over from there, managing:
Collection from the originating donor bank
Loading into a validated −196°C dry shipper
Supervised hand-carry courier accompaniment for the full journey
Do Not X-Ray protocol at every security checkpoint
Nigerian customs clearance and clinic handover, with full chain-of-custody documentation
A clinic in Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, or anywhere else in Nigeria works with this partnership once — not with a foreign bank, a courier, and a customs broker separately.
Why Nigerian Clinics Work With This Partnership and Not a Patchwork of Their Own
One relationship instead of three. Sourcing, verification, and transport are handled as a single coordinated process rather than three separate vendor relationships a clinic has to manage itself.
FCA-regulated insurance covering material in transit
Hand-carry only — no unaccompanied cargo handling on our side of the process
Do Not X-Ray protocol protecting sample viability at every checkpoint
−196°C validated dry shippers maintaining cryogenic temperature for the full journey
Nigeria-based operational presence, so destination-side coordination isn't being run remotely from another continent
Transport onward across Africa, not just into Nigeria — useful for clinics with patients or partner clinics elsewhere on the continent
Indicative Pricing
Pricing below covers donor material sourcing and verification through Greenplace Healthcare's partner bank network only. Our transport fee into Nigeria is quoted separately per shipment, based on origin and shipment size, and excludes any clinic fees, additional testing requested by the receiving clinic, or storage once material arrives.
Donor Material | Partner Bank Network | Starting From |
Donor eggs (Caucasian/European donor) | European partner egg banks | €400 per vitrified egg |
Donor sperm (Caucasian/European donor) | US partner sperm banks | $900 per vial |
Transport into Nigeria (courier, dry shipper, customs coordination) is quoted separately based on shipment size and onward destination, if the material is continuing to another African country.
What's Included in Donor Screening
Screening Component | Purpose |
Genetic carrier screening | Identifies inherited condition risk before donor material is released |
Infectious disease panel (HIV, Hepatitis B/C, syphilis, CMV, etc.) | Confirms donor material meets safety standards for use |
Karyotyping | Confirms normal chromosomal structure |
Psychological assessment | Evaluates donor readiness and motivation |
Medical and family history review | Flags hereditary conditions not caught by genetic panels alone |
Physical examination | Confirms general donor health prior to collection |
Frequently Asked Questions
Who actually sources the donor eggs and sperm — Greenplace Healthcare or Cryo Medical Logistics? Greenplace Healthcare handles donor sourcing and verification through its partner network of European and North American donor banks. Cryo Medical Logistics handles transport of the material into Nigeria once a donor is selected.
What screening does a Caucasian donor go through before a Nigerian clinic can access their profile? Every donor in the Greenplace Healthcare partner network goes through genetic carrier screening, an infectious disease panel, karyotyping, psychological assessment, medical and family history review, and a physical examination.
How much does a donor egg cost? Donor eggs through the partner European banks start from €400 per vitrified egg, covering sourcing and verification only. Transport into Nigeria is quoted separately.
How much does donor sperm cost? Donor sperm through the partner US banks starts from $900 per vial, with transport quoted separately.
Can a clinic in Lagos, Abuja, or Port Harcourt access this directly? Yes — the partnership works with clinics across Nigeria, not just in a single city.
Can donor material continue on to another African country after arriving in Nigeria? Yes — we handle onward transport across Africa, useful for clinics coordinating with patients or partner clinics in other countries.
Do we need to independently vet a donor bank ourselves before working with this partnership? No — that's the point of the arrangement. Greenplace Healthcare's partner network has already been vetted and verified; clinics don't need to run their own due diligence process on a foreign bank.
How is the material kept viable during transport into Nigeria? Material is loaded into a validated −196°C dry shipper and accompanied by a courier as hand-carry for the full journey, with a Do Not X-Ray protocol at every security checkpoint.
Can a clinic set up an ongoing sourcing and transport arrangement rather than booking shipment by shipment? Yes — this is the typical model for clinics building or scaling a donor program with Nigerian patients.
