The Chief Medical Director of Nnamdi Azikiwe University Teaching Hospital (NAUTH), Prof. Joseph Ugboaja, has expressed confidence that the newly inaugurated Radio Diagnostic Center will help curb medical tourism in Southeastern Nigeria.
Speaking during a grand reception for the new NAUTH Board Chairman, Hon. Ali Bukar Dalori, at the hospital’s permanent site on Thursday, Ugboaja described the multi-billion-naira facility as a testament to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s commitment to the Southeast.
“The establishment of this regional Radio-Diagnostic Center is a clear demonstration of Mr. President’s love for Ndi Igbo and the people of the Southeast,” he said, appreciating Tinubu and the Coordinating Minister of Health & Social Welfare, Prof. Muhammadu Ali Pate, for their support.
