He is not lying though. But they are all Nigerians living abroad. Some go back to Nigeria to have their dental issues fixed because of the very expensive nature of dental procedures abroad. Some go back home for surgeries because these western countries don't rush to operate on you if it is not an emergency. They will give you a far date for the surgery. Some Nigerians just go back home and do the surgery and go back abroad.
You are right. Even CT scan appointments take longer. The day I learnt that to see a GP in UK you have to book appointments weeks ahead I was shocked. Here you just call over the phone and in few hours you are seeing your GP but it cost you unless you have good insurance. Good bless this my new country grin

For the cheap and easy ones, Nigerians come home to fix. Removing one tooth in the UK costs as much as 600 pounds in some cases. In Nigeria, that’s roughly about 15k in the public hospitals. In cases of IVF, some visit home where they spend 4 - 6 million Naira, as against spending between 5 - 20 thousand pounds in the UK.

The man should bow his face in shame. Our public health is in shambles. The same Nigerian doctors who are poorly paid in Nigeria, relocate to the UK and get twenty times their salaries in Nigeria. Even private hospitals do not fare better.

Na you get the gist, don't tell a lie, do not tell the truth either.
Some can't afford the excessive cost of healthcare, some can't stand the waiting time, etc.
Make he tell us percentage of ministers and other top govt heads attending to their health care here

Most folks wont accept because of their poor situation will not allow them to see beyond their nose.

The problem with healthcare in Nigeria, even in the good hospitals we have like Reddington and Lagoon, is not that its expensive. Its actually cheap by global standards. The problem is the low income of Nigerians.

I do eye glasses for my wife and kids who live in Yankee from here. Filling their prescription cost me N160k, yet the one for my wife alone in Yankee is $200 (N320k). To do for the three in Yankee would have cost me like N700k.

The main problem with Nigeria is that incomes are too low. If minimum wage were like N250k, the complaints would be less.

As it is 2 of my cousins who work in IT in California and were working 100% remotely are now in Nigeria because when naira devalued massively, they found that their salary that was a struggle in California is balling in Lagos and they can save a lot more here. Just rent alone, $3500 a month (N5.6mln) compared to a nice duplex in Lekki for N6mln a YEAR! They just needed Starlink and inverter for 24hr light.

Thie comment by the Minister looks more like propaganda.

But no doubt, Nigerian medical practioners are doing the best they can despite a terrible working condition.

The point is that as some only see the negatives, others are also seeing the positives!!

yes I agree that healthcare overall is far better in the West, but if they give you appointment in 6months time and you die before then for a surgery that you could do in Lagos next week, who e help?

The Minister didn't say healthcare is better in Nigeria than the west! he said some people come here for healthcare and based on some comments here from others alluding to that fact, then he was not incorrect.
