On when the hospital would kick-off on Nigerian soil, Dr Osman said it is currently in the phase of market study to identify which city to start the hospital as Nigeria is a large country. It is also trying to ascertain which specialities are in demand in healthcare in order to identify the right partner either in the public or private sector, she said.

Dr Osman said the future of Nigeria lies in hands of the young educated population saying “While travelling across UK and USA I have met several Nigerian doctors and medical staffs in top positions in hospitals and medical universities. So there is need to develop the infrastructure of the medical facilities in order to bring them back to home country.”
