We have doctors in Nigeria capable of handling President Buhari's health challenge' - NMA President Mike Ogrima says

President of the Nigeria Medical Association NMA, Mike Ogrima, has refuted claims that Nigerian doctors cannot treat President Buhari's ear, forcing him to travel to the UK to see an ENT doctor.

Speaking to journalists in Jos, Plateau state yesterday June 9th, Ogrima who is a professor of Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery at the Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, said Nigerian doctors are capable of handling any health challenge President Buhari is facing.

“We have 250 TNC surgeon doctors all over Nigeria, capable of handling the health challenge President Muhammadu Buhari is being faced with. Maybe the equipment will not be available for treatment, but we have qualified TNC surgeon doctors We do not know the reason for his referral to UK for treatment because the present administration had made clear that it was not in support of Nigerians seeking medical attention outside the country,”he said.

President Buhari left for the UK on Monday June 6th to rest and also see an Ear, Nose and Throat Doctor.

    1. Area 11's TOTAL Filling Station by Police Force Hqtrs in Abuja should be be investigated by EFCC. They ve been scamming people for ages yet nobody seems to notice. On no condition should you let them stop the pump once they start dispensing or else you will lose anything bw 200 naira to 2k. The worst part is that the whole mgt is in on it. Each pump attendant rakes in nothing less than 10k per shift thru this dubious practice. Always remember that the moment you drive into this filling station you are a potential mugu.

    1. Juliet u seem to be so blinded by partisanship! The president on one hand preached against travelling abroad for treatment, and refused such cases the needed forex! And on the other hand he is doing exactly the opposite! What could that be called? HYPOCRISY

Abbi him that is preaching it? Tooor!

    5. Juliet so because his the no.1 so he should go abroad and waste our resources on ordinary ear infection that our doctors are capable of handling. The earlier our leaders begin to value what we have the better for us all.

    6. You seem quite dumb sometimes. So what moral justification does he have to demand that his ministers stop medical tourism. Abi we were all here when he refused to allow olisa metuh travel out to treat himself. A leader is a servant of the masses not the number 1 citizen. We are not saying he shouldn't take care of himself, but he should practice what he preaches. What mouth will he now use to tell nigerians to patronise "made in nigeria" product and services?

      My own annoyance is not even that he travelled out for treatment..it's the fact thati its the same UK that insulted nigeria that he's going for treatment. If you were Cameron, just imagine how pathetic you will think nigeria is.

She dought your attention and you gave her money at the end of last year. Let her open her own blog and start doing her "notice me"there. So she went to Stella's blog and they cussed her out there, those ones are market women.

    12. So are u saying he can't get the very best in Nigeria? Are there not human begins treating him over there? The doctors here are dey ghost? If we don't have equipments he shld equip the hospitals to be of good standard like the one's his visiting over there. Mind you he gave the instruction and shouldn't be the first to break the rule. My opinion

    1. The way people insult and curse presidents is not right, because it is only in Nigeria that things like that happen, pray for the country to be good not all these curses, after we would start to shout that Nigeria is curse where by we are the ones that placed the curse. Lets pray for peace and progress, and you don't pray for someone's death because you don't own your life, instead allow God to be the judge

  12. I'm a doctor & not a fan of Buhari but I like the fact that he left the country for treatment, Yar'Adua's ailment was misdiagnosed by a doctor in Nigeria & before they knew it, it was already late. Let me stop here.

  13. PMB said Nigerians going abroad for health care, better education should source for forex at the parallel market, but he has the audacity to spend our hard earn forex for his own health care in UK. HYPOCRITE!!! Bloody Fulani cow!!! God is watching you and your relatives!!!!

  15. This is the real truth. Now he is seek he went abroad instead of treating himself in his country as the president. We have well qualified doctors that can handle any type of sickness in Nigeria.If he dont believe in thedoctos we have why cant he train then... Buhari is really bringing negative changes. I can prove it

  23. Do you have constant power supply hahahaha ha! So light will go during operation of your president.
    Do you have a mad ICU, do you have all the machines and infrastructure required.
    Nope.
    Not your fault.
    But that's why he won't put himself in your hands MR NMA.
    Can't count how many times I used my phone to shine light in theatre.
