How medical tourism gulps over N400 annually from Nigeria – Buhari

Buhari disclosed this on the occasion of the inauguration of the Senior Executive Course 41, 2019 of the National Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies Kuru, Jos South LGA of Plateau State with the theme “Funding Universal Health Care Delivery in Nigeria”

Adding that inspite of this, the sector was still characterized by low response to public health emergencies, inability to combat outbreak of deadly diseases and mass migration of medical personnel out of the country. “This has resulted in increasing medical tourism by Nigerians in which Nigeria loses N400 billion on annual basis,” he lamented.

He said the programme was expected to focus more on the rural areas with particular attention given to vulnerable populations such as women, children under five years of age and elders in collaboration with international development partners adding that the essence of the programme was to ensure that quality basic healthcare services were delivered to the majority of Nigerians across the country irrespective of their locations.

Buhari himself is involved and had about two thirds of the medical tourism, yet he is not done yet! State House Medical Centre is dead under Buhari as he favoured to patronize London Hospital!

MBuhari is the number one culprit

Am sure PMB's bill alone is more than that. In all these no hospital has been launched. So keep deceiving Nigerian's by travelling for official functions as a detour for your regular medical check ups. All in a bid to avoid more criticism. Well done

And you’re the chief at it ...

U r d major contributor so y r u complaining

What a hypocritical fool!

This will be ridiculous and insanely if Daily Post Nigeria is Factual about this statement...

Ordinary 400h? Change

You rightfully has the picture of Nigeria’s number one overseas medical tourist,MBuhari

Chief medical tourist.

Is this another way of promising never to go to London again?

I can’t even begin to imagine the level of wickedness exhibited by Nigerian Task Force Agents. Why are we so mean & wicked in this country? U go about destroying people’s businesses just bcos U can? See no matter what,”this is pure wickedness”. Not everyone can afford a shop😡

Very funny considering the person making the statement.

Tweetwizzard why is everybody accusing Buhari na, i can bet he doesn't know what he said, ask Osinbajo.

The father of medical tourism speaking

400 billion Naira they meant. FG contributed more than 75% of the amount. Fix our hospital Nigerians are dying every day cos of lack of equipment in government hospital

Is it baba that is skipping again or is it that is changing baba words

Tweetwizzard look who's talking, No1 medical tourist. SMH

See who is talking abt medical tourism abroad . Pls with due respect sir , stop talking abt this bcos u alone Nigerians knws how much tax payers money was spend on you and ur son on medical case abroad

Tweetwizzard Says the medical tourist in chief....

Tweetwizzard Thousand, million, billion?

Just N400?

Is this what they mean when they talk about NextLevel?

Sarcasm

And probably yours gulps half of it when you spent more than 100 days away for your own medical tourism sir. Think about that

Ordinary N400 naira annually and you are complaining... Mtchweee the person behind this account smoke weed before en wake up in the morning

I hope he added his own money?

N400? Who mad dog bite, na or Mbuhari?

Perhaps, this figure didn't include MBuhari medical bills abroad?

Including

I hope his bill is included. Talk is cheap

A host of people commenting on this are just too lazy to read. Yo all just jump at headlines. The mistake is from . And it was indeed Gov. Simon Lalong who represented the president at the occasion. Fools

Like seriously, N400?

Just N400 naira... Dats not money now..... Whoever is handling this handle I say Wehdone.....

Our king has gone mad again

See who's talking seriously. I'm surprised they didn't blame PDP for all Buhari's medical escapees.

The accuracy of the pics used though.

Looks who's talking...
