How much does it take to get medical treatment in london?

I asked because the way our officials are moving to london for treatment is alarming,
or is it cheaper over there than here?

Not sure about the cost depends what you go for. It is far cheaper for people in the UK to go to Poland get expensive dental work, plastic surgery and procedures such as hip replacements done at 30% to 60% of the cost they would pay in London.

It’s well documented that politicians from across the continent go abroad for medical treatment. The reasons for exercising this choice are obvious: they lack confidence in the health systems they oversee, and they can afford the trips given that the expenses are paid for by taxpayers.
The result is that they have little motivation to change the status quo. Medical tourism by African leaders and politicians could therefore be one of the salient but overlooked causes of Africa’s poor health systems and infrastructure.
Since the beginning of 2017, President Muhammadu Buhari of Nigeria has spent more time in the UK for medical treatment than he has in his own country. By seeking treatment abroad, Buhari broke one of his own electoral promises – to end medical tourism.

DSS is watching,
grin grin grin grin

That man preaches change but remains unchanged,
1984 economy isn't different from thisday economic situation.
