FG Urges Diasporans To Reduce Medical Tourism By Investing In Hightech Clinical Services In Nigeria
Nigeria’s Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Bianca Ojukwu has called on Nigerians abroad to help reduce the country’s reliance on medical tourism by investing in domestic healthcare infrastructure.
The minister made the appeal during the 16th Annual Mbaise USA Convention held in Minnesota, United States, where she also officially launched the construction of Medville Medical City, a state-of-the-art healthcare facility to be built in Uvuru, Mbaise, Imo State.
The minister described diaspora-led projects like Medville as critical to transforming Nigeria’s healthcare sector, noting that such initiatives align with President Bola Tinubu’s foreign policy thrust of the Renewed Hope Agenda- entrenched on Democracy, Diaspora, Demography, and Development (4Ds). She emphasized that such investment in Nigeria pays as government has created favourable business atmosphere in the country.
Bianca Ojukwu added that such “legacy project” has the potential to place Mbaise and Nigeria on the global healthcare map.
