Medical tourism hurts Nigeria’s healthcare

Tens of thousands of Nigerians travel abroad for medical treatment due to lack of medical facilities at home.

When Nigerians need to see a doctor, many get on a plane instead of going to the local hospital.
 
The medical exodus is hurting Nigeria’s health service. Doctors say facilities need to be improved for Nigerians to have confidence in the medical services on offer.
