Nigerian politicians have been advised to emulate Vice President Yemi Osinbajo by patronising local medical facilities and doctors.
The Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) disclosed this in a ‘Get Well Wish’ statement by its National President Dr Uche Ojinmah, on Monday.
Mr Osinbajo at the weekend had a successful leg surgery performed by a team of Nigerian doctors in a Lagos hospital.
The association also commended Osinbajo for demonstrating confidence in Nigerian doctors and the healthcare system.
He said it was time to fix the nation’s fragile health care system to the benefit of the common man and the economy.
The statement said, “We wish to thank God for seeing our Vice President through surgery. All Nigerian doctors are praying for his quick and complete recovery.”
