The Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, on Thursday called for increased funding for the healthcare sector and an end to all forms of medical tourism especially by elected and appointed government officials.
The umbrella body for all workers in Nigeria also said that with the amount of resources available to government, Nigeria can afford to build and effectively equip some of the best hospitals in the world.
President of the NLC, Comrade Ayuba Wabba stated this in Abuja in his address on this year’s Global Day of Action on Care.
