Contextualising Menopause in Nigeria: A Qualitative Analysis From the MARiE Project

This qualitative study provides the first in-depth, context-specific account of menopausal experiences among Nigerian women, revealing substantial inequities driven by sociocultural beliefs, economic constraints, and systemic gaps in healthcare provision. The findings underline the urgent need for culturally sensitive, equity-oriented menopause care in Nigeria, including integration into primary healthcare, improved professional training, affordable access to evidence-based treatments, and public health education to reduce stigma and unmet need.
