Dr. Enabulele, the vice-president of the Commonwealth Medical Association, said it was a “national shame” that the president went to the UK for treatment when Nigeria had more than 250 ear, nose and throat (ENT) specialists, as well as a National Ear Centre.

The doctor accused President Buhari of reneging on a promise to end “medical tourism” by seeking treatment in the United Kingdom.

The former NMA president urged Buhari to lead by example at curbing medical tourism and saving Nigerians the great loss incurred through numerous trips abroad for medication.
