Lagos set to build medical village

October 22, 2013

LAGOS—Governor Babatunde Fashola of Lagos State, yesterday, said plan has been concluded to build a medical village in the state, saying “it will help restrain Nigerians from seeking foreign medical service.”

Fashola who disclosed this, during a courtesy visit by the members of the West African College of Surgeons led by its President, Professor Harve Yangni-Angate at the Lagos House, Alausa Secretariat, Ikeja, said: “We have received a few applications from interested medical practitioners.

“With this, we will have a cluster of health practitioners. And I believe that this will help turn the state into medical hub for the country.

Lagos medical village coming soon – Fashola

Oct 22, 2013

Governor Babatunde Fashola of Lagos State yesterday disclosed his administration’s plan to minimise the rate at which Nigerians seek medical care abroad. Fashola said the state government planned to cite a medical village for treatment of different ailments. According to him, the medical village would parade different cluster of specialists to take care of ailments that made Nigerians and Africans to seek treatment abroad.

Speaking when the management of the West African College of Surgeon led by its President, Prof. Harve Yangni-Angate, visited him at the Lagos House, Alausa, Ikeja, Fashola assured that the village would turn the state to medical hub.

The governor said: “With this, we will have a cluster of health practitioners. And I believe that this will help turn the state into medical hub for the country. “I believe that the objective to keep our people within the country especially within the West African sub-region whenever there is need for any serious surgical operation is realisable.

It is realisable in a very short time. “We initiated that policy in response to many of the Nigerian doctors who signified their interest of returning home, to establish their own medical outfit. “And I told them that we should get about a land that is about 20 hectares and divide it in order to accommodate all the medical experts. We have received a few applications from interested medical practitioners.”

Fashola, who likened the specialties of medical experts to a football game, said surgeons who perform complex surgeries deserve to be paid more. He said: “They could be paid on the basis of their skills.

They are professionals, marketing specialised skills and if you like the argument, not all football players earn the same wage, some score goals, some prevent them from coming in and some have other roles to play. Maybe there would be a base minimum and from there professionals must put their skills into competition and that is the way the industry grows”.

Always a good idea!
Why go abroad to pay 50% more when local option can be put in place.
For thore complaining about the "set to" thing, don't forget that every meaningful project has a "set to" news attached to it. The fact that someone somewhere is commisioning power plants with no gas to fire or airports that record crashes isn't the best thing to happen to Nigerians.

The people of bariga/shomolu die young because of lack of adequate medical system, now the Gov will make you and your parents live longer by creating the medical village.

Appreciate a man that care about you and your siblings life so that you can live long enough to see shomolu/bariga transformed to GRA.

Not mostly true,
The people of Bariga/Shomolu die because they lack the basic govt necessities, like good roads and drainage- malaria,
water supply- diarrhea, cholera,
security- gun shot injuries etc.
waste disposal - too many to mention

The point is they will be a lot healthier if they have these basic necessities.
Medical village is not a bad idea, but it sounds elitist, even communist.

We have already existing hospitals begging for attention.
He should do well to equip them.

Have you been to Lagos hospitals? Even Primary health centers run by the LGAs aren't doing badly

oh please! This is what they said about the National Hospital in Abuja, now who goes there. They'll build it and charge exorbitant fees that the masses would never be able to afford, after 2 years, the facilities will be an eyesore. No be Naija we dey? Let him fix and upgrade the hospitals in Lagos first before opening another one.
