The foundation for the construction of a world-class Cardio-thoracic centre has been laid at the Federal Medical Center, Abeokuta to enable access for surgeries for the repair of disorders in the heart, lungs and chest in Nigeria.
The Deputy Minority Whip, House of Representatives, Mr. Adesegun Adekoya while laying the foundation in Abeokuta noted that the policy of President Muhammadu Buhari-led government was to bring infrastructural development to the nooks and crannies of the country.
He said the Cardio-Thoracic Center and an international Infertility and Maternity Hospital at Ago Iwoye are being fully funded in the budget and called on the hospital management to monitor the project execution religiously.
The Medical Director of FMC Abeokuta, Professor Musa Olomu, in a remark, said the centre expected to be completed in twenty-four months would be of international standard in terms of manpower and equipment.
A renowned Cardio-Thoracic Surgeon, Professor Femi Thomas while speaking commended the facilitator of the project, the Deputy Minority Whip and the Hospital management noting that the facility would be the first of its kind in the south West, Nigeria stating that it will facilitate the solutions to Medical Tourism among other benefits.
