Medical tourism: Reddington pioneers super specialist medical centre in Nigeria

To stem the tide of capital flight resulting from seeking medical care abroad by some ’s political elite, high net-worth individuals and cooperate institutions, Nigeria’s leading private Hospital, The Reddington Hospital Group has launched a new healthcare facility that provides super specialist expert care across a range of clinical specialism.

The new facility known as the Maxy Super-Specialty Centre offers professional advice, treatment and management of conditions and diseases using specialists in Otorhinolaryngology (Ear Nose and Throat), Dentistry, Ophthalmology and Optometry (Eye conditions), Endoscopy as well as other specialist areas such as dialysis and sleep therapy.

This is besides the global standard medical care offered by the Group for about its 10 years of existence in Nigeria.

The lack of or inadequacy of the aforementioned facilities in the Nigerian healthcare industry is the major reason for the promotion of what is now termed “ medical tourism” a situation whereby influential Nigerians go for countries with high medical facilities such as India, the United States of (USA), the United Kingdom (UK) and other destination for their medical needs.

In addition to providing this hi-tech equipment in Nigeria, The Reddington Hospital in a rather, strategic move to salvage the Nigerian medical system has also attracted some of the best hands in professional medical practice who hitherto were based abroad to man strategic sections of the facilities.

Among those already on board are Dr. Olatunde Lalude, The Group Medical Director Reddington Group who was based in London for more than two decades , Dr. Misbah Oleolo , the Medical Director of the MAXY Super Centre who before now was also based in the UK and Dr. Owen Woghiren, Director of Endoscopy also from the UK among others that have joined the group in recent time.

Speaking during the launch of the centre, Medical Director of the Super Specialist Center, Dr. Misbah Oleolo said that The Reddington Hospital Group is blazing the trail in professional medical practice as against what was obtainable in the past in this country.

“While there are clinics around who may deal with one or other specialism, usually these can only be accessed by a referral from a doctor. With our new clinic, you can access the best expertise available, professional advice and ongoing support across a wide array of specialist healthcare disciplines without the need for a referral by a doctor”, he explained.

According to Oleolo, a member of the UK’s Royal Societies for Physicians and Surgeons, “Our ENT specialists can treat a wide range of ear, nose and throat conditions, as well as head and neck conditions.

They will be supported by skilled hearing therapists (audiologists), and speech and language therapists, who are professionally qualified in this field.
