People now travel outside of the nation to seek medical attention in Nigeria, according to a Nigerian doctor working in the UK.

The strain on the NHS system is unsustainable, according to @simisola10, and residents of some Eastern European nations also return home for medical treatment, bringing management plans and translated test results back to the UK.

She posted on Twitter:

Patients are now traveling from the UK to Nigeria for medical care.

“I adore the NHS; it has greatly benefited me. I continue to be deeply involved in it. The NHS is home to some of the world’s top physicians and cutting-edge medical research. But the system can’t take much more strain. Because of the lengthy wait times, some Eastern Europeans have typically returned home to take care of their medical issues.

Indeed. The majority of the ones I’ve seen are for elective treatments like dental work, colonoscopies, and cataract surgery. You can receive any necessary medical care in the UK if you have private comprehensive health insurance. The amount of coverage varies based on your age and health concerns, and the premiums rise with usage. This is not the case for the typical English citizen who receives state-subsidized medical care. You must bide your time. A cancer diagnosis is the only exception, in which case you must see a doctor within two weeks. Although experiences may differ in Scotland, this is true in England.
