Medical treatment in Nigeria fairly Okay… No need to seek expertise Abroad – Ngige
Minister of Labour and Productivity, Chris Ngige has expressed that there is no need for Nigerians to seek medical treatment abroad, as the country has the necessary facilities to provide quality healthcare for citizens.
Ngige stated this on Friday, during an interview with Channels Television.
When asked if the country’s healthcare sector is good enough to discourage Nigerians from travelling abroad, the minister admitted that though the sector is not perfect, the federal government has done its part “well”.
“I haven’t said everything is perfect. I have said that viz-a-viz what we have on ground and the political situation we have, what we are practising — a federation — where health is on the concurrent list, the federal government has exercised its own function well, for me,” he said.
“What are you going to do abroad? Expertise is here. On a good note, on an average note, on a comparative note, medical treatment here is fairly okay as far as I’m concerned. Yes, at least if you visit federal medical centres,” he said.
“I use the National Hospital here (referring to Abuja). You can go; my card is there.”
that will be a good things if those useless politicians can listens to you……
The personnel are good but the government are the one killing their morals not only medical but all parastatals
You need to do more in order to make every aspects in the medical parastatals to work perfectly without any deficits
But they are on strike now, you people are waiting the lives of people who do not have money to travel abroad
Our medical doctors and nurses are good in terms of their experience but you don’t give them what they need to carry out those work
