Emmanuel Ugwu-Nwogo in Umuahia
Governor Peter Mbah’s drive to reverse medical tourism and halt the attendant capital flight remains on course, the Chief Executive Officer(CEO) of Enugu International Hospital (EIH), Professor Sam Agwu, has said.
He gave the assurance while speaking with journalists at the site of the 300-bed health facility located on Rangers Avenue Enugu, which is almost ready for inauguration with state of the art medical equipment already installed.
“Enugu International Hospital represents a translation of Governor Mbah’s vision into reality. He wants to reverse medical tourism,” he said.
Available records show that Nigeria currently loses an estimated $1.2 billion to $2.39 billion annually to outbound medical travel or medical tourism undertaken by political leaders and the rich.
