Want to be a seasoned cardiologist? You no longer need to go abroad for training – thanks to Babcock University, which has just opened a new heart and vascular centre. KOFOWOROLA BELO-OSAGIE reports. Today, as the Babcock University launches the Tri-State Heart and Vascular Centre, it is the hope of its Vice Chancellor, Prof Kayode Makinde, that the event would mark the beginning of the end of medical tourism for Nigerians. Flying abroad to fix various ailments has become a norm for Nigerian elite and others, who manage to raise the funds for life-saving surgeries. Former Bayelsa State Governor, Diepreye Alamieyeseigha was about to embark on one of such journeys when he died of complications from cardiac arrest on October 10. Many experts in the health sector have estimated that these journeys cost Nigerians over N250 billion yearly- an amount that would do a world of good if invested locally. Describing the practice as disgraceful, Makinde told journalists on Tuesday that the Babcock University Teaching Hospital has begun to position itself to end the trend with the launch of the centre. He said: “I felt very bad recently when a former Governor, an industrious governor of one of our industrious states, (died) and the sitting Governor said they were just at the point of flying him abroad when he gave up the ghost. The question I asked myself is when are we, as a people, going to ever have the public shame of not advertising our incompetence, our weaknesses, our inadequacies to the world? “The resources of the country with which we are flying our citizens are just a fraction of the resources of Nigeria that is going outside the country because of (poor) healthcare. But we fly our resources out of the country and just mourn, grumble and complain about it. “Babcock has stood up and is rising to the challenge to speak and stand up; stand out for our country – that is why over the next five, 10 years, we are going to be bringing a number of specialised services, we are glad that the very first of those services, the Heart and Cadiovascular centre.” With the advances it is making in providing quality healthcare, Makinde said the university hopes to reduce health tourism by 10 per cent in the next decade. Why Build Local Capacity So far Babcock has invested about N2 billion in the centre, whose idea was mooted just seven months ago. Prof Kamar Adeleke, President and CEO of Tri- State Cardiovascular Associates, who left the United States (US) to establish the centre at the university, said he was inspired to act to reduce needless deaths from heart-related ailments, which he described as a silent killer. He was particularly moved by the death of a colleague, whom he said was Nigeria’s only Neuro-Pathologist, as a result of cardiac arrest. He said: “Seven months ago it was a Saturday when I picked up the telephone and I called Prof Makinde. I was frustrated in the U.S. It was about five in the morning in Delaware when I decided that enough was enough that things have to change in Nigeria. “Nigerians are very brilliant people; they are blessed people and indeed, they are hardworking people. They deserve better than what we are getting and the reason is because a couple of times they called me that somebody died of an illness that shouldn’t have killed him. I was disappointed when Prof Tope Alonge called to say, ‘Sir did you hear that the only neuro-pathologist we have in Nigeria died?’ He was only 52 or 53 years much younger than any of us on this table and I said what a loss for Nigeria. How long did it take Nigeria to train him? So I called Prof Makinde and I said, ‘I need your help; I want to build a heart programme in Babcock University.’” Adeleke warned that heart disease is gradually, taking over from infectious diseases that used to result in the highest casualty in Africa in the past. “About 20 years ago the number one killer disease in Africa, especially in Sub Saharan Africa, was Infectious diseases, notably Malaria, Tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS. In the last three or four years now, the number one killer has been heart disease followed by stroke. The average life expectancy in Kenya, I believe, is about 68-69, in the United States, it is about 79.8 this is about 2012 and we are already improved and in Nigeria it is about 51 or 52,” he said. Given the number of serious cases of heart diseases he and his team treated at the University College Hospital, Ibadan, recently, Adeleke said the prevalence of heart disease is underestimated in Nigeria. He added that most of the 20 cases presently being managed by the centre are also serious. He said failure to perform autopsy on most deaths was part of the reason the disease is underestimated in Nigeria. Making a case for strengthening local training and facilities to treat heart conditions, Prof Makinde said failure to strengthen the education system and build local capacity in healthcare delivery would not benefit anyone – least of them the elite. He noted that despite their wealth, as the time and instability of the patient could render travel impossible and local intervention expedient. With 15 cardiovascular experts coming from the U.S. with Adeleke to run the centre for the next two years, Makinde is particularly excited that the programme provides a veritable platform for training of Nigerian cardiovascular professionals. “Training is one of the sustainability factors for the programme. The first set that has come here will begin to train Nigerians. We have 12 sub-residency programmes already. As they improve the healthcare, they would train Nigerians,” he said. Adeleke shared more light on a fellowship to further train experienced experts. “We have 15 expatriates from abroad, who have signed two-year contracts. We have also established Fellowship training – the first in Nigeria. We evaluated some cardiologists, who have gone through all the training and are consultants. They were not up to par. All these consultants will do two more years of training under us before we let them loose,” he said. Challenges: Establishing a centre of this magnitude in Nigeria has not been without challenges. The cost has been much higher than what would have obtained in the US. For instance, even raising funds from financial houses attracted up to 20 per cent interest – compared to the single digit they would have gotten abroad. Also, Adeleke said the cost of consumables used for the surgeries are high because they have to be imported. He said local production would reduce cost substantially. “All consumables we use come from abroad. If we are manufacturing in Nigeria, the cost will reduce. I have challenged the company supplying us to come down to Nigeria; and they have agreed to do so if the environment is conducive,” he said. Despite the cost of doing business in Nigeria, Adeleke is optimistic things would get better. He noted that the university has pegged the charges for surgeries at the centre at $15,000. In the US, the operations cost between $75,000 and $150,000. Prof Makinde has assured that the university would ensure that indigent patients, who need financial assistance are not turned away. “The policy we have at Babcock University is that nobody will be turned away because of funds. The procedures are not cheap. We are appealing to corporate entities to support people,” he said. Buoyed by the success of the centre’s first open heart surgery on a 34-year-old woman earlier this month, Adeleke and his team are ready to help more Nigerians get healthy locally, and in the process, transfer knowledge to local health professionals. As part of today’s programme launch, Adeleke said the Tri-State Foundation, would be launched to raise funds to support surgeries for indigent patients. Dignitaries expected at the event include the Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi, who would inaugurate the centre; Chief Medical Director, University College Hospital (UCH), Ibadan, Prof Temitope Alonge, the guest speaker; Chief Bisi Akande, and John Momoh, who are on the board of the foundation, among others.

So students who doesn't have access to internet enabled phone should not have access to news shey?
Or those who don't have money to get data don't deserve to know what's happening around them?

I don't know, buh it seems you people have a blind eye to good things, always hand picking bad things from anything, well I feel your pain, failing OAU P.UTME 4 times is enough for you to talk trash.

Blinded Entity

Please what course are you studying in OAU

trapQ:
why are they worsening global warming?? if they wanna protest, first step is close down all their businesses in any other state other than theSE states, stop using Nairaland (since its owned by a yoruba), and better still move to the east and stay The Fvck there.

You must really be sick,since Nigeria separated from the British that stopped them from using British stuff ba

Touching Story. About three phones have gone missing in our room in the past five months. When we reported to the School's security, they only told us that it was a roommate that is responsible. Everyone of us in the room was waiting for the day we will catch the culprit.
Last Tuesday, when we were all asleep; I think it was about 2 am, Ben woke up suddenly and his phone was gone. His phone was the most expensive of us all. When Ben woke up and couldn't find his phone, he sprang up from the bed and quickly opened his cupboard. He rummaged the contents, even removed his clothes but could still not find the phone.
I was in the room when it happened; sitting and reading before I dozed off with my heading resting on my books. So when Ben couldn't find his phone, he gently shook my shoulders until I woke up. 'It has happened again', he told me.
I didn't even need to ask what happened as I could see the panic and loss written in his eyes.
This is the second time his phone had been stolen. So I took my phone and dialed Ben's number; just to be sure it had not been misplaced. 'Error in Connection' was what I saw on the screen of my phone. I dialed it again and it started ringing not just on my phone, but the actual ring tone of Ben's Samsung phone was faintly audible.
We were both surprised when we heard the tone. I beckoned on Ben to keep quiet as he was visibly ready to 'finish' the person who took his phone. I continued dialing as we moved silently, following the direction of the ring tone. There were four bunks in the room, each with two bed spaces. Ben and I use the same bunk just beside the door and the sound was coming from the last bunk at the extreme left corner.
We tiptoed, Ben and I, like Jack Baeur until we traced the sound to the top bed space on the last bunk. 'So it is John who had been stealing phones in this room'. Ben whispered to me.
We shook his leg and woke him up only to find out it was not John sleeping on the mattress. Neither of us had ever seen the guy before. To make matters worse, the ringing was coming
from the bag he was using as pillow.
When he woke up, he looked at us strangely as if he didn't know why we were there.
We opened the bag and found not just Ben's
Samsung, but three other phones. 'So, you are the one who's been stealing our phones!'; Ben shouted at him.
Before he could find an excuse, Ben slapped him on his left cheek and walked out looking for anything to break one or two of the guy's bones. I don't know; but there was something about the guy. So I asked him, 'Oga, what are you doing here?' 'What are you doing with Ben's phone'. He was just looking at me without saying anything, so I slapped his right cheek with my left hand.
'ANSWER ME!', I screamed at him; waking up the roommates who were around. John had obviously gone to night class to read and I assumed the other three roommates who were absent had also gone to read.
The two guys remaining in the room with me and Ben came and gave their own round of slaps. The accused was now staggering when Ben came back with a long wood hard enough to kill the guy. As he raised it up, the three of us, the roommates, held his hands so he wouldn't murder the accused. Ben dropped the wood and swept his right leg against the thief's legs and he fell down. Ben had told me before that he had attended the Soldiers' recruitment training but failed the medical test. I believed him right then.
I looked at the guy crumple on the floor and before Ben killed him, I decided to interview him, at least to know who he is. He was now sitting on the ground where he landed from Ben's force. 'Who are you?' I asked him again; this time gently. He was crying but it was only the tears that were coming out. It was then I realized he had not even uttered a word since it all started. Not even when he fell to the ground. 'Why are you in our room'? I asked again. 'Can you even talk?' He shook his head then. I was now confused. Why was he shaking his head?
So, I asked again, 'Can't you talk?' He shook his head again. 'Wait, is it that this guy is dumb?', I asked the guys.
The guy then nodded his head and pointed to his mouth and then shook his head left to right. It hit me then. The guy is dumb but not deaf. That was the first time I am seeing a case like that.
My anger changed to pity immediately. 'Are you dumb?', I ashamedly asked the guy to confirm. Again, he nodded his head.
'Can you read and write?' He nodded again. 'Get me a pen and note!' I said to my roommates over my shoulder. I collected the pen and wrote on the note, 'Who are you? Explain yourself.' I was almost in tears as I read his fine handwriting, 'My name is James, I am John's elder brother. I am a student of Delta State University. I was traveling to Delta but our bus stopped for the night at Benin. So I decided to sleep with my brother till tomorrow morning. He brought me here around 12 am and went out to night class to read. He gave me the bag to keep for him. So I decided to use it as pillow so that it won't be stolen'.
I held the note with the guys at my back as all of us read it. I became so weak I almost fell.� 'The guy is innocent.' I needlessly announced.
When we realized this, even I was ashamed of myself.
Ben just stood there with the wood he almost used to hit him, looking as if he was the one who had been beaten. I am not sure, but I think I saw tears in his eyes as he realized he had just punished an innocent man.
So we knelt down; Ben and I, we knelt down and clasped our hands so he will know we were really sorry. With tears in our eyes, we told him, 'We are sorry. Sorry for accusing you wrongly and beating you for it'. The dumb guy just smiled with bleeding lips from the blow I gave him. He smiled and looked into our eyes. And I could see pity in his eyes. He smiled and shook his head and then wrote in the same paper. 'It is Alright. I took the pain willingly. Please don't beat my brother anymore. I knew why you were beating me. John had always been a thief, right from home. But please don't report or beat him again'.
Tears dropped from my eyes as I read his sacrifice. He deliberately allowed us beat him just so that John will be free. I lend my hand and raised him up as I used my cloth to wipe the tears from his face and blood from his lips. It was then my own tears flowed from the corners of my eyes.
..
this is what Jesus did for us on the cross of calvary. kept quiet and even died so that we can be saved. He never protested his innocence but bore it all for us. He gave his life for you. What have you given for him?
Return the life to Him, He's in Love with u.....

it's high time we won more souls for Christ..
