ABUJA — THE Federal Government on Tuesday said that Nigeria is steadily being positioned as a growing hub for quality healthcare and now attracting patients not just from the West African subregion but also from countries as far as the United States and the United Kingdom.

The Coordinating Minister of Health and Social Welfare, Prof. Muhammad Ali Pate, disclosed this while briefing State House correspondents at the end of the Federal Executive Council, FEC, meeting presided over by President Bola Tinubu at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

The Minister highlighted key decisions aimed at bolstering Nigeria’s healthcare system.

One of the most notable was the approval of N12 billion for Magnetic Resonance Imaging, an advanced diagnostic equipment, across six tertiary health institutions.

According to him: “People are now beginning to come from the subregion, and even from faraway places like the UK and the US, to receive quality healthcare in Nigeria.

“Despite the challenges we face, significant progress is being made, and the transformation promised by President Tinubu is already.

“This investment in critical diagnostic infrastructure is part of a broader effort to expand Nigeria’s health system capacity, ensuring that our tertiary institutions can offer world-class medical services,” Pate noted.

Another key decision from the FEC, he said, was Nigeria’s ratification of the African Medicines Agency (AMA) Treaty, which aims to harmonize medical regulatory standards across the continent.

Adopted by the African Union in 2019, the treaty seeks to improve access to safe, high-quality, and effective medical products through a Pan-African regulatory framework.

Mr Muhammad Ali Pate is like you miss your daily medication dosage you need to be re examine before your brain 🧠 tremors goes out of hand.

Niggur needs to save his job

Minister of lies.

You will soon start naming and pointing out those people for us to see and agree with you. Liars!

Big man big lie.

He is not lying though. But they are all Nigerians living abroad. Some go back to Nigeria to have their dental issues fixed because of the very expensive nature of dental procedures abroad. Some go back home for surgeries because these western countries don't rush to operate on you if it is not an emergency. They will give you a far date for the surgery. Some Nigerians just go back home and do the surgery and go back abroad.

Meanwhile these fellas are going abroad to seek their own healthcare. Senseless liars! Idiots!

Which kind lie be this na

I know a lady who said she wants to come to Nigeria for IVF treatment. Dunno if she is serious about it tho
