Editing Do not resuscitate (section)

=== Nigeria ===
There is no formally accepted protocol for DNRs in Nigeria's healthcare delivery system. Written wills may act as a good guide in many end of life scenarios, but often physicians and/or patients' families will act as the decision makers. As quoted in a 2016 article on Advanced Directives in Nigeria, "everything derives from communal values, the common good, the social goals, traditional practices, cooperative virtues and social relationship. Individuals do not exist in a vacuum but within a web of social and cultural relationships." It is important to note that there are vast cultural differences and perspectives on end of life within Nigeria itself between regions and communities of different ancestry.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Jegede|first1=Ayodele Samuel|last2=Adegoke|first2=Olufunke Olufunsho|date=November 2016|title=Advance Directive in End of Life Decision-Making among the Yoruba of South-Western Nigeria|journal=BEOnline |volume=3|issue=4|pages=41–67|doi=10.20541/beonline.2016.0008|issn=2315-6422|pmc=5363404|pmid=28344984}}</ref>
