Nigeria: Why We Built Enugu International Hospital - Gov Mbah
[Premium Times] The governor said the facility was part of his administration's deliberate plan to position Enugu as a medical tourism destination.
Enugu State Governor Peter Mbah unveiled the 300-bed Enugu International Hospital, part of his administration's strategy to transform Enugu into a medical tourism hub on the continent. The facility aims to reduce the number of Nigerians seeking medical treatment abroad by providing affordable, high-quality healthcare services locally.
With a recent 6.5% increase in medical travel expenditure by Nigerians overseas, the hospital's establishment is expected to generate significant economic benefits and employment opportunities. The hospital will offer specialized medical services in cancer treatment, surgery, nuclear medicine, therapeutics, diagnostics, and more.
