The Nizamiye Hospital Abuja has stated its resolve to reduce medical tourism in Nigeria through its expansion drive and the introduction of new services.
This was stated Tuesday at a forum organised by the hospital to celebrate some of the successes it has recorded since 2014.
The public relations officer of the hospital, Mohammed Abubakar, stated that the hospital has been able to meet the expectations of its patients through the continuous investments in advanced medical equipment and the opening of new clinics as well.
He said in the past six years of the operations of the hospital, it had witnessed tremendous achievements as well as challenges that come with the terrain.
“The past six years of the operations of the hospital has witnessed medical breakthroughs in critical areas such as open heart surgeries, interventional cardiology, and general surgeries. We have successfully performed over 20,000 surgeries, with a 95% success rate,” he stated.
He further added that this feat was achieved through the expertise of the medical team of the hospital.
“The hospital invested a great deal in ensuring that it attracted some of the best hands from Europe and America and those that have indeed distinguished themselves in their various specialties. All our clinics are headed by experienced expatriate consultants’ with years of experience in their fields.
“The hospital is also on an expansion drive. We have introduced new clinics to handle special cases. We now have a sports injuries and traumatology clinic headed by a professor of orthopedics and sports trauma with specialisation in arthroscopy, sports injuries, and joint surgery. We also have a cardiovascular surgeon who has performed over 60 open-heart surgeries with a 95% success rate at our open heart surgery clinic.”
