Deputy President of the Senate, Senator Barau I. Jibrin, says Nigeria is working towards building a healthcare system that will end medical tourism and meet international standards.
Senator Barau stated this on Sunday while inspecting seven major projects he facilitated at the Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital (AKTH).
He said the projects were part of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda to strengthen the nation’s health institutions.
“Our goal is to make our hospitals so good that Nigerians will no longer need to travel to Egypt or India for medical treatment,” Barau said.
“We have the human resources and expertise to transform our health sector if we invest properly.”
He explained that the ongoing projects at AKTH are designed to upgrade the hospital into a more advanced and specialised medical centre capable of providing world-class care.
