Health workers’ welfare key to ending medical tourism — ABUAD VC

The Vice Chancellor of Afe Babalola University, Ado-Ekiti (ABUAD), Professor Smaranda Olarinde, emphasized the importance of improving the welfare of healthcare workers in Nigeria to reduce medical tourism and retain skilled professionals. During the celebration of the Afe Babalola Multi-System Hospital's 50th successful kidney transplant, she highlighted that better working conditions, remuneration, and career development opportunities are crucial for sustaining the healthcare sector. She argued that while modern facilities and equipment are important, they are insufficient without motivated and well-supported healthcare personnel. The Chief Medical Director of the hospital noted that achieving such a complex procedure marks progress toward providing high-quality healthcare domestically and reducing reliance on foreign medical services.
