Chris Bode, chief medical
director of the Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH), has appealed to
Nigerians to stop travelling abroad to get medical treatment.
The CMD said LUTH is
well-equipped and recognised for excellent medical services.
“LUTH that was known for strike
before is stabilised with committed and dedicated staff,” he said.
“Currently, we are proud of
equipment which can compete with other hospitals locally and abroad. That is
why we are telling Nigerians not to go abroad for their health challenges
again.
Jide Akeredolu, the district
governor of Rotary International District 9110, said the club was ready to
provide humanitarian services to Nigerians through the hospital.
The club also donated a playing
court to the children ward in the hospital during the visit.
Akeredolu said the donation of
the playing court by the Ikate Rotary Club was to encourage children who were
recovering from illness in the hospital.
President Muhammadu Buhari
earlier expressed concern that the country was losing so much to medical
tourism because of its health sector’s “inability to combat outbreak of deadly
diseases and mass migration of medical personnel out of the country”.
