Nigeria losing billions to medical tourism - UITH CMD

Date: 2015-03-14

The Chief Medical Director of the University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital, Kwara State, Prof. Abdulwaheed Olatinwo, has sad that Nigeria is losing billions of naira to foreign medical tourism.

He said many of those medical services that made Nigerians to travel abroad could be rendered by some hospitals in the country.

Olatinwo spoke on Friday on the sidelines of the third baby through In Vitro Fertilisation delivered by UITH medical team.

Olatinwo urged Nigerians to have faith in Nigeria’s medical system, adding capital flight through foreign medical tourism was not favourable to the country’s advancement.

The baby girl, delivered by UITH medical team, led by Olatinwo and the UITH Reproduction Medicine Clinician, Dr. Lukman Omokanye, weighed 3.2kg at birth.

Omokanye said the hospital adopted necessary IVF procedures that led to the conception, anti-natal care and delivery of the baby.

The excited mother of the baby, Mrs. Muyidinat Oladipo, 47, said she had been looking for baby for the past 22 years.

Her husband is 62 years.
