Gov Mbah Flags off Construction of 300-bed Enugu International Hospital

Governor Peter Mbah of Enugu State on Monday flagged off the construction of a 300-bed Enugu International Hospital.

Mbah said the hospital would make the state the hub of medical tourism in West Africa and help to reduce medical tourism.

The governor revealed that Enugu was targeting a substantial share of the overseas medical tourism market estimated to be over $1 billion annually.

The Commissioner for Health, Ikechukwu Obi, said the hospital would offer different medical services including general medicine, emergency department, surgical services, obstetrics and gynaecology, intensive care unit, cardiology, oncology, neurology, radiology and imaging.
