The Federal Government on Monday advised Nigerians to seek information on the treatment of some diseases locally before thinking of going abroad.

According to the government, the advice became necessary because many of its hospitals across the country were now treating some of the medical issues pushing some citizens outside the shores of the country.

The Minister of State for Health, Dr Olorunnimbe Mamora, gave the advice while inspecting some newly acquired facilities to improve the care of patients by the Federal Medical Centre, Jabi in Abuja.Mamora said state-of-the-art equipment were being procured by the regime of the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari , to make treatment of surgeries less cumbersome.

“I can assure you that President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration is doing so much in terms of upgrading facilities to make them suitable for the exigencies of the moment.“All the medical team that carried out this surgery are Nigerians living in Nigeria. This goes to confirm the long-held view that with the conducive environment and availability of necessary equipment, we have competent Nigerians that can really carry out this procedure excellently well.

“On this, the Federal Government through the Federal Ministry of Health was able to get some infrastructure and some equipment in this regard. “This is for the benefit of all Nigerians but we are looking at how this could benefit our neighbouring countries and some other parts of the world. He said, “Because of that, we were able to subsidise the cost for the patients. But in the long run, we want to call on philanthropists, some corporate organisations and societies to actually come forward, to subsidise the cost of this surgery through donations to our Medical Indigent Fund.”
