Medical tourism: Reddington pioneers super specialist medical centre in Nigeria

To stem the tide of capital flight resulting from seeking medical care abroad by some Nigeria’s political elite, high net-worth individuals and cooperate institutions, Nigeria’s leading private Hospital, The Reddington Hospital Group has launched a new healthcare facility that provides super specialist expert care across a range of clinical specialism.

The new facility known as the Maxy Super-Specialty Centre offers professional advice, treatment and management of conditions and diseases using specialists in Otorhinolaryngology (Ear Nose and Throat), Dentistry, Ophthalmology and Optometry (Eye conditions), Endoscopy as well as other specialist areas such as dialysis and sleep therapy.

This is besides the global standard medical care offered by the Group for about its 10 years of existence in Nigeria.

The lack of or inadequacy of the aforementioned facilities in the Nigerian healthcare industry is the major reason for the promotion of what is now termed “ medical tourism” a situation whereby influential Nigerians go for countries with high medical facilities such as India, the United States of America (USA), the United Kingdom (UK) and other destination for their medical needs.

In addition to providing this hi-tech equipment in Nigeria, The Reddington Hospital in a rather, strategic move to salvage the Nigerian medical system has also attracted home some of the best hands in professional medical practice who hitherto were based abroad to man strategic sections of the facilities.

Among those already on board are Dr. Olatunde Lalude, The Group Medical Director Reddington Group who was based in London for more than two decades , Dr. Misbah Oleolo , the Medical Director of the MAXY Super Centre who before now was also based in the UK and Dr. Owen Woghiren, Director of Endoscopy also from the UK among others that have joined the group in recent time.

Speaking during the launch of the centre, Medical Director of the Super Specialist Center, Dr. Misbah Oleolo said that The Reddington Hospital Group is blazing the trail in professional medical practice as against what was obtainable in the past in this country.

“While there are clinics around who may deal with one or other specialism, usually these can only be accessed by a referral from a doctor. With our new clinic, you can access the best expertise available, professional advice and ongoing support across a wide array of specialist healthcare disciplines without the need for a referral by a doctor”, he explained.

According to Oleolo, a member of the UK’s Royal Societies for Physicians and Surgeons, “Our ENT specialists can treat a wide range of ear, nose and throat conditions, as well as head and neck conditions.

They will be supported by skilled hearing therapists (audiologists), and speech and language therapists, who are professionally qualified in this field.

Turkey bomb victims ‘mostly children’surviving

Most of the victims of the bombing of a Kurdish wedding party in the Turkish city of Gaziantep on Saturday were children, media reports have said. Twenty-nine victims were under the age of 18, reports said, with one official saying 22 were under the age of 14. The death toll rose to 54 yesterday. The suicide bomber himself was a child aged between 12 and 14, President Recep Tayyip One woman lost four children in the attack, Emine Arhan, said yesterday: “If it wasn’t for my only surviving child, I would have killed myself.” Another victim was a nine-year-old girl who had stayed on at the party to see the bride after her parents had left, according to reports. A disproportionately large number of women and children were killed in the attack because it targeted henna night, a part of the celebration attended mainly by women and children. Turkish officials said the type of bomb used, which contained scraps of metal, was similar to those used in previous attacks on pro-Kurdish gatherings. ...

IMMUNITY BILL: A MISPLACED PRIORITY

Certainly, it is not a matter of conjecture to say that the undue interference and unpalatably flagrant disregard to separation of power by the executive tier of government has raised more questions than answers on the integrity of this government and the commitment of the leadership to truly push for the genuine change in line with democratic norms all over the world. Fatunde Bamidele Samuel (VEGA) writes from lagos. Recently, the society was encapsulated with shocking news of pension bill for the National Assembly members. However, the bill was dead on arrival. This is nothing but another heinous attempt to permanently ground the country that is already suffering from the bloodsucking bedbugs (NASS) and former governors pensions. These are almost sucking the finances of this country dry; if and only if we could act fast to salvage it then we can only hope the existence of Nigeria will not be history. The recent exploit of the National Assembly is evi...

Breaking News: Paul Manafort Quits Donald Trump’s Campaign After Tumultuous Run

POLITICS Paul Manafort with reporters in a Republican Convention last month Paul Manafort, installed to run Donald J. Trump ’s operation after the firing of his original campaign manager, handed in his resignation on Friday, signifying the latest tumult to engulf the candidate, whose standing in the polls has steadily dropped since the Republican Party ’s convention in July. Mr. Manafort left nearly a week after a New York Times report about problems within the Republican presidential nominee’s campaign helped precipitate a leadership shake-up. His departure reflects repeated efforts to steady a campaign that has been frequently roiled by the unpredictable behavior of its tempestuous first-time candidate. Mr. Manafort was also dogged by reports about secretive efforts he made to help the former pro-Russian government in Ukraine, where he has worked on and off over several years. Those news reports were blotting out much of the press coverage of th...
