The Enugu State Government has announced a plan to reduce medical tourism by Nigerians by up to 40% within one year. The initiative focuses on improving local healthcare services to make them more attractive and affordable for residents. Officials believe that by enhancing medical infrastructure and services, the state can retain patients who currently seek treatment abroad. The strategy includes investing in better facilities and training for healthcare professionals. This move comes as part of broader efforts to boost the state’s economy and reduce the financial burden on citizens.
