Seven tertiary hospitals in Nigeria have been equipped with state-of-the–art facilities and personnel to undertake kidney transplant.
Minister of Health, Professor Christian Onyebuchi Chukwu, who disclosed this at the 2013 Ministerial Platform , yesterday, also said University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital had the capacity to undertake open heart surgery.
The minister said: “With this achievements and improvement in the health sector, there is no need for...
anyone to leave Nigeria to other countries for medical treatment, apart from cases where we do not have expertise in Nigeria because no country in the world can provide all the health needs of its people”.
He noted that in an effort to ensure that Nigerians imbibed healthy lifestyle, his ministry was intensifying efforts and collaborating with members of the National Assembly to ensure that the tobacco bill became law.
This, according to him, will moderate the smoking habit of the people and prevent them from contracting deadly diseases, such as cancer, lungs diseases and many others.
