When ABUAD Hospital speaks on Buhari

Akinmade made this comment while addressing journalists in Ado-Ekiti, the Ekiti State capital, over the weekend. He lamented the consistent medical tourism of Nigerian politicians abroad.

Vanguard reported that he explained that it was time for the government to equip the healthcare infrastructure in the country and that they could take a cue from the ABUAD Hospital, which he said has been described as the most equipped medical facility in Sub-Saharan Africa, with some of the best experts in the country.

According to the CMD, you rarely find any medical facility in Nigeria and Africa that is well-equipped or can brag of the volume of medical equipment, which includes hordes of cross-border personnel that the ABUAD facility parades every day.

He stressed that the peculiarities were assembled by the patriotic and visionary zeal of the founder and legal luminary, Afe Babalola (SAN), just to ensure that the hospital met the global standards in the health sector. He said the hospital works to meet the demand of all classes of people, whether rich or poor, low or highly placed.
