Journal entry by LouisMed Hospital

There are many Nigerian doctors practising overseas. OYEYEMI GBENGA-MUSTAPHA writes on the return of one of them, Prof Anthony Bamgboye, and his efforts at building a quality health facility to impart knowledge.

Gynaecology and reproductive medicine got a boost, last week with  the establishment of Louismed Hospital in Lekki, Lagos by Prof Anthony Bamigboye.

The Professor of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, who recently came back from South Africa, is bringing his experience, spanning over 25 years in the Diaspora, to bear on the field.

The inauguration of the hospital last week attracted many personalities in the medical profession. In spite of misgivings expressed by several guests on poor infrastructure, such as epileptic su pply of electricity and socio-economics challenges, the professor said he had  come to lend his hand to raise the health of the people.

According to him, he was met and persuaded by the House committee Chairman on Diaspora Affairs, Hon Abike Dabiri-Erewa, to return to Nigeria. He hails from Erin-Ekiti from Nigeria.

Bamgboye, an egghead in gynaecology and obstetrics, is an ardent researcher and clinician with special interest in evidence-based approach.

Bamgboye has started experiencing what many call “9ja factors”, as he was held up for five hours from the International Airport to Victoria Island in a traffic gridlock and had been ripped off by unskilled technicians, among other unpleasant experiences.

He minced no word as he said: “It has been like a nightmare. I brought in a lot of high-tech equipment but power supply has been quite a headache. I put up those equipment for just three days and had to put them down again due to epileptic source of power generation; they just did not work. Another is my discovery of unskilled people. The people that came to install these equipments do not have the skill at all, they did not install them well, yet they posed as highly skillful and charged high fee. They are not honest. Most of these people see one as moneybag, it is unfortunate. Their target is to drain one. When I realised this, time and money are lost. I also have problems with water supply. The government’s supply is not so fantastic in terms of quality and supply. The water smells and has colour. I have to expend money again to purify the water and the reinstallation. In the area of transportation again, I could not believe it.  It takes me six hours to fly from Johannesburg to Lagos. From Airport to Lekki, it was five and half hours. It is incredible. Those are wasted man hour. Those challenges are there and I have to face them. This is because of my resolve to be efficacious.”

Yet he braced up to these challenges, as he said, “I have brought with me the healthcare expertise and empathy I have developed over the years in the Diaspora. I want to make impact on the healthcare system here in Nigeria. Loiusmed Hospital set up to be a Centre of Excellence in Gynaecology and Reproductive medicine and where a partnership with medical schools will ensure that medical registrars can have skills acquired without clamouring for overseas posting as well as undertake important scientific research.

He intends to assist patients from other hospitals with obstetrics or gynaecological problems, as he said, “the surgical endoscopy unit, that is, unit for key-hole operation otherwise called minimally invasive surgery is quite advanced. Doctors, nurses and other medical workers at the new hospital are carefully selected in Nigeria and South Africa. After this project fly, I intend to open more shop despite intimidating challenges.”

In his keynote address titled: The Diaspora and the Future of the Medical Care in Nigeria, the immediate past Permanent Secretary (PS), Lagos State Ministry of Health, Dr. Femi Olugbile, who x-rayed the current medical care in the country and the need for Nigerians in the Diaspora to get involved by establishing health facilities would restore hope to the nation’s health sector.

Olugbile, who pointed out the huge number of highly skilled Nigerians in medical practice in various parts of the world, stressed the need for these professionals to bring their experience and capital home to create good quality health facilities in the country.

On her part, House Committee Chairman on Diaspora Affairs, Hon. Abike Dabiri-Erewa, who was the guest speaker and chairman of the occasion, challenged Nigerians to demand the best from their leaders, especially in the area of health care delivery. She recounted her experience with Professor Bamigboye when she had an emergency gynaecological problem saying, there is need for Nigerian doctors abroad to come back and invest in the country’s health sector. Dabiri- Erewa encouraged Nigerian medical doctors in diaspora not to be discouraged by insurgency in the country.
