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.

Supreme Court doesn’t need 21 justices – CJN

The acting Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Walter Onnoghen, has said appointing more judges or increasing the number of courtrooms are not the solutions to the problem of delayed justice dispensation in the country. The acting CJN said the Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court would  remain congested so long as the number of appeals proceeding there from the high courts was not regulated. Justice Onnoghen also argued that it was erroneous to believe that delay at the Supreme Court was as a result of not having up to 21 Justices prescribed by the constitution. He noted hat even the United States of America, with a higher population, had only nine Supreme Court Justices. He argued that the current 17 Justices on the Supreme Court bench were just enough for the country, if the number of appeals proceeding to the appellate and apex courts was regulated. Justice Onnoghen made this argument on Monday in Lagos while inaugurating the newly refurbished building of the Lagos Division o...

Trump ex-aide Paul Manafort 'offered to help Putin'

US President Donald Trump's one-time campaign chairman secretly worked for a Russian billionaire to assist President Vladimir Putin, the Associated Press (AP) news agency reports. Paul Manafort is said to have proposed a strategy to nullify anti-Russian opposition across former Soviet republics a decade ago. AP says documents and interviews support its claims about Mr Manafort. Mr Manafort has insisted that he never worked for Russian interests. He worked as Mr Trump's unpaid campaign chairman from March until August last year, including the period during which the flamboyant New York billionaire clinched the Republican nomination.

Newly obtained business records link Mr Manafort more directly to Mr Putin's interests in the region, AP says. Donald Trump unpaid Campaign Chairman It ...
