EKO HOT BLOG reports that a consultant who operated on Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo has revealed why he chose to undergo the surgery at a national hospital.

The consultant noted that Osinbajo decided to undergo the surgery because he had confidence in Nigerian doctors.

Recall that Osinbajo, on Saturday, successfully underwent a surgical procedure on his right femur (thigh bone) at the Duchess International Hospital, Ikeja, Lagos.

A senior officer in the Presidency who pleaded anonymity told Punch that some of the government and private practice doctors of the Vice President suggested he travels out of the country as this is “often usually considered by such a class of patients and at times the option could also seem more seamless.”

However, he insisted on using a Nigerian hospital and medical experts.
“The VP’s view is that most people don’t even know the facilities exist here. Besides, we have some of the best doctors available anywhere,” the official stated.

Sharing his thought’s on the VP’s decision, the founder of the Reddington Hospital who is also one of the doctors who coordinated the surgery, Dr Yemi Onabowale, said “the VP was clear that he had confidence in Nigerian doctors both at home and abroad and would prefer they handle the operation.”
