The new President, Guild of Medical Directors, Dr Abiodun Kuti, has said the Guild intends to reverse the trend of medical tourism in Nigeria.
Kuti, in a statement on Tuesday, said the new executives of the Guild were elected in Kaduna recently. He said, “As the new GMD president, my goal is to reverse medical tourism by encouraging the Nigerian private hospitals to be able to handle the cases seen with improved technology and expertise. “Getting better health financing facilitation which should be with single-digit loan terms will help our members in delivering quality health care to the people.
“Convincing Nigerian doctors in the Diaspora for exchange programmes and training with their contemporaries in Nigeria will also help in reversing the trend of medical tourism in the country.”
