Nigeria spent a total of $1.04m on foreign healthcare-related services in the first quarter of 2023, The PUNCH has learnt.
The PUNCH reported in May that Buhari, his wife, and his son, Yusuf, spent over 250 days abroad for medical treatment.

Even though we have well-trained personnel that can handle all medical cases, the infrastructure and the equipment are not adequate. These prefer to spend their money abroad, but when they get there, it is still Nigerian doctors that will attend to them.
