Ahead of the official inauguration of the Enugu International Hospital, the state governor, Peter Mbah, has undertaken an inspection tour of the facility, declaring that the state is positioned to become a premier destination for continental medical tourism.
Mbah, who disclosed that the hospital has been fully equipped with state-of-the-art medical technology, stated that the project aims to stem the outflow of medical tourism from Nigeria and secure a significant share of the multibillion-dollar global market.
Speaking to journalists on Thursday following a pre-launch walkthrough of the facility located along Rangers Avenue, Independence Layout, Enugu, the governor noted that the hospital was born out of a deliberate health policy.
“If you recall our manifesto during our campaign for office, we made it clear that we were committed to making Enugu a medical tourism hub on the continent. We knew the size of that market and wanted to have a good share of it.
