HEALTHCARE MAY BECOME FASTEST GROWING SECTOR IN NIGERIAN ECONOMY - OSINBAJO

Investments in top medical care and the overall healthcare sector in Nigeria is set to birth one of “the fastest growth areas in a resurgent Nigerian economy”, according to Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, SAN.

Prof Osinbajo stated this today during his virtual remarks at the official unveiling of the Evercare Hospital in Lekki, Lagos.

Evercare Hospital, part of the Evercare Group, operates as an integrated healthcare delivery platform in emerging markets across Africa and South Asia, including India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Kenya and Nigeria. The international group has set aside a $1billion healthcare fund.

“The business case for more top quality medical care in Nigeria has always seemed quite obvious, but I think the fact that the Evercare Health Fund, (a US$ 1 billion emerging markets healthcare fund) has chosen to invest in healthcare in Nigeria, clearly confirms even to the greatest skeptics that we are seeing the birth of what may well become one of the fastest growth areas in a resurgent Nigerian economy,” Prof. Osinbajo submitted.

Speaking on the importance of having such a medical institution in Nigeria, the Vice President observed that “we must reverse the trend of outbound medical tourism” and there is the need to “attract, not just medical tourists from our neighbors in the region, but also become the place of choice for even developed countries’ medical tourists looking to jump long queues for specialized procedures at home.”

He also emphasized that the emergence of the Evercare Hospital would bring about a U-turn in the brain drain of medical personnel trained in Nigeria who are engaged in hospitals abroad because of better remuneration and better facilities.

Noting the peculiarity of the situation in Nigeria in terms of accessibility to healthcare, Prof Osinbajo pointed out that “we have by far the largest number of middle-to-low income communities and individuals in sub-Saharan Africa who require affordable, high quality healthcare.”

The Vice President expressed his optimism and excitement in the facility with “first-of-its-kind-purpose-built, 165-bed state-of-the-art international private hospital, that offers an extensive range of specialty medical and surgical services.” He also expressed his pleasure at the fact that “in addition to its local world class personnel, the hospital will leverage technology to consult with international specialists across the 29 hospitals and 16 clinics currently in its portfolio.”

According to the Vice President “we are certainly set for exciting times in the Nigerian healthcare story.”

In his own remarks, the Governor of Lagos State, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-olu, commended the management of the hospital for their collaboration with citizens of Lagos, local and foreign investors in building a first-class edifice catering to the people.


Others present at the event were the Lagos State Commissioner for Health, Prof. Akin Abayomi; Commissioner for Economic Planning and Budgeting, Mr. Samuel Egube, Chairman of Evercare Hospital, Mr. Tosin Runsewe; Chief Executive Officer of Evercare Hospital, Mr. Rajeev Bhandari; Chief Medical Officer of Evercare Hospital, Dr. Ayo Shonibare and other dignitaries.

The only star boy we know is wizkid and the weeknd

Good one Afonja Christian

How? When you and others decide to build hospitals abroad & even patronage foreign hospitals with looted funds specially your oga. While the ones here are kept in bad shape with zero motivation to the healthcare workers that would have stayed back but now nearly all the best hands have left.

Corona has a thing to play here

Does this man know about bandits and kidnappers?

Abeg, in which Nigeria does he live?

It's very possible, India is a case study. The resultant effect is expensive healthcare services which won't favour the populace. Health insurance is the way to go which shouldn't be exclusive to just govt employees or employees of cooperate companies but everyone.

Okay

Presumption....
Anyway TGIF.
Wish u guys a safe n peaceful hangout dis weekend.

The man's head is wedged deep in his butt crack!

Really?

Because our leaders have failed to leave up to expectations by doin the needful

Is the hospital accredited by any international accreditation board?.

If not ,then is a normal Nigerian hospital in Lekki.

How many Nigerian hospitals have foreign accreditation?.

Big shame

Lori iro! Good initiative! But which fastest growing sector? Will that stop the govt and top government executives from embarking on their perennial healthcare tourism abroad while the NHA, Aso Rock Clinic & teaching hospitals across this nation remain the shadow of their old selves?

Which Health care? Is it the one we are struggling to pay Doctors and employ them or what? Imagine a Dr after doing his house job still home alone jobless. Some have to pick up useless jobs just to satisfy their conscience as not to be useless. I pray we do the right thing. We should stop deceiving ourselves.
Most of our general hospitals still do horrible and unimaginable things. Ordinary primary health has long gone into extinction. I can't wait to leave this country.
