South Africa’s Health Minister Aaron Motsoaledi has criticised African leaders for seeking medical treatment abroad.

Speaking in Zimbabwe at a World Health Organization (WHO) meeting of African health ministers, Mr Motsoaledi said Africa must be the only continent where the leaders travel abroad for health reasons.

He was addressing the conference hours after President Robert Mugabe, who himself makes regular trips to Singapore for eye treatment, opened the meeting. Mugabe had left the event by the time Mr Motsoaledi spoke.

Newsday newspaper quoted South Africa's health minister as saying: "I have said this before and I will say it again: we are the only continent that has its leaders seeking medical services outside the continent, outside our territory. We must be ashamed of that. This is called health tourism. We must promote our own."

In the past year five African heads of state have gone overseas for medical reasons, they are:

Nigeria's President Muhammadu Buhari
Zimbabwe's President Robert Mugabe
Benin's President Patrice Talon
Angola's President Jose Eduardo dos Santos
Algeria's President Abdelaziz Bouteflika

^{Africa is cursed}.

YelloweWest:
The faces of African leaders have long been licked by dogs that they no longer have an atom of shame.

Buhari who won election riding on the promise to fight corruption has spent more days aboard than his own country since he entered office.

Senator dino abi bingo the dog is on the streets of London celebrating Nottingham carnival as if we no longer have pressing issues facing society.

Omeokachie:
The worst part being that some of them even refused to go back home unless forced or chased away by their citizens.

MXrap:
South Africa has taken a jab on Nigeria just because of Bubu's grand failure in Nigeria's medicare.

guterMann:
Buhari is always making the headlines for the wrong reasons.

To think that he was against medical tourism as a presidential aspirant makes it hypocritical .

To think that billions of Naira was budgeted for Aso rock clinic makes his claim of being a man of Integrity a joke.

THE SUN MUST SET FORTH AT DAWN.

How is he one of them? Which SA leader goes for medical tourism ? Every SA is treated in that country , the rich , middle class and the poor. That country is not perfect but I respect them for patronizing everything SA , from their schools to their hospitals hence the leaders have no choice but to make everything work there or else the citizens will fck them up lol. Mandela was treated and died in SA which shows great leadership. We in the SADC region are learning from them and we also use their hospitals a lot for free.

So I say big up to this son of the Southern African soil, he works really hard to make the region great.
