The Federal Government said it has stopped providing resources to government officials to travel abroad for medical attention on cases that could be handled in the country.
Speaking at the opening ceremony of the 56th Annual General Conference and delegates meeting of the Nigeria Medical Association, NMA, in Sokoto, President Muhammadu Buhari, said his administration would not encourage expending hard earned resources on any government official seeking medical care abroad.
Buhari, who was represented by the Minister of Health, Professor Isaac Adewole, said “While this administration will not deny anyone of his or her fundamental human rights, we will certainly not encourage expending Nigerian hard-earned resources on any government official seeking medical care abroad, when such can be handled in Nigeria.”
Buhari urged health professionals to avoid inter-professional crises which had impacted negatively on the nation’s healthcare delivery system.
“We have seen the hazards that this unfortunate and highly preventable problems have caused to the quality of health care delivery in Nigeria.
“May I employ members of NMA to always imbibe the spirit of team work to ensure harmonious relationship with other health professionals, no profession can effectively and efficiently function without the other”
“Government will review all previous agreements and take reasonable decisions that will not infringe on the right of the workers and also invest in programmes that will improve capacity of all cadres of health workers,” the minister quoted the President to have said.

It simply means anyone that wants to go outside the country for medical treatments or checkups will do so at their own cost, except where it is ascertained that such is NOT available in Nigeria.

ReplyDeleteGood news... One of the best things he has done so far
ReplyDeleteIt means that any government functionary would first provide evidence that their condition can't be handled locally and that would be assatained by a the of experts. If however one still wishes to go for outside treatment, he would provide evidence of the probable or estimated cost of treatment and the bank account from which payment wouldvbe made. This would help usvknow who have illegally amassed wealth in their accounts
