Grace Ebun Delano is a Nigerian nurse and midwife, born in Kaduna on 13 November 1935, who helped pioneer family planning and reproductive health services in Nigeria. She trained as a nurse in England from 1956, then studied midwifery and district nursing, and returned to Nigeria in 1961. At University College Hospital in Ibadan she became the nurse in charge of the first university teaching hospital family planning programme in the country, a programme that spread from hospitals into rural and community distribution. She co-founded the Association for Reproductive and Family Health, serving as its vice-president and director for more than 25 years, consulted for organisations across Africa, and wrote books and articles on family planning and women's health. In 1993 she received the World Health Organization Sasakawa Award for her work in health development.
