The National Association of Government General Medical and Dental Practitioners (NAGGMDP) has called on the Nigerian government to initiate measures to tackle factors surrounding medical tourism effectively.
The association made the call in a communique issued at the end of its National Executive Council (NEC) meeting held on 14 May in Port Harcourt, Rivers State capital.
The President of the association, Sofiri Peterside, said the conviction of Nigeria’s former Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, his wife, and a medical doctor in the United Kingdom had highlighted the multidimensional issues surrounding medical tourism in Nigeria.
