During a significant visit, Professor Bala Audu, President of the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) and Vice Chancellor of the Federal University of Health Sciences, Azare, praised the remarkable progress made by Alliance Hospital in enhancing healthcare standards in Nigeria.
The visit highlighted the hospital's outstanding contributions in orthopedic care and its pioneering success in in-vitro fertilization (IVF), positioning Nigeria as a potential hub for medical tourism.
"We are here to comprehend and endorse private healthcare providers who are establishing standards in specialized, premium care,"Professor Audu stated. "Our aim is to ensure every Nigerian has access to healthcare centered on patients that respects and caters to their needs."
Professor Audu stressed the importance of governmental backing to maintain and broaden such accomplishments. "Adequate financial support and cutting-edge equipment are crucial for these institutions to flourish and for Nigeria to emerge as a medical tourism destination,"he pointed out.
The visit by the Nigerian Medical Association emphasizes the significance of collaboration between the private and public sectors in healthcare. As Professor Audu highlighted, "Nigerians should be aware that top-tier healthcare is available locally, more cost-effective, and culturally appropriate than seeking treatment overseas."
Alliance Hospital's achievements serve as a beacon of optimism, illustrating that with the correct backing and commitment, Nigeria can indeed take the lead in global healthcare.
Alliance Hospital, renowned for its expertise in orthopedic surgery, has also become a trailblazer in IVF. The hospital's Chief Medical Director, Dr. Christopher Otabor, expressed immense pride in the accomplishments of their IVF center since its establishment.
"Today marks a significant occasion not only due to the birth of triplets but also because our IVF center is elevating success rates to unprecedented levels,"Dr. Otabor remarked. "In just a year, we have achieved a success rate of 70%, surpassing global averages by a significant margin."
Alliance Hospital's success is attracting international recognition, with patients from developed nations seeking treatment. This surge in medical tourism is a testament to the hospital's high standards and the global trust it has gained.
Dr. Otabor shared heartwarming anecdotes of international patients who departed Alliance Hospital with successful pregnancies, some even with multiple pregnancies. "The happiness we witness in families, both Nigerian and international, drives our commitment to excellence,"he stated.
The advancements of the IVF center also encompass pre-implantation genetic diagnosis (PGD), providing hope to couples at genetic risk and enabling sex selection to meet family planning requirements.
"Alliance Hospital is crafting tales of joy and contentment in numerous families,"Dr. Otabor concluded. "We are merely instruments in the hands of the creator, but with the appropriate environment, we can inscribe extraordinary narratives."
