This was the general consensus of healthcare practitioners during an event organised by the University of Calabar Teaching Hospital in collaboration with the Nigerian Cardiac Society in Calabar.

Chief Medical Director of UCTH, Prof Ikpeme Ikpeme, and a consultant cardiologist, Prof Clement Odigwe, said equipping Nigerian hospitals will discourage medical tourism and enable citizens to check their health challenges periodically thereby reducing capital flights and increase lifespan.

On his part, a medical consultant, Prof. Victor Ansa, advised Nigerians to take their health history seriously to enable them to take timely medical precautions, especially those with chronic organ challenges.
