Decrying the decay of Nigeria's medical system, the APC chairman said he would have sued the doctors if it were in another terrain because his wife was a victim of quack medical doctors.

He further called for a review of Nigeria’s medical system to enable doctors treat patients only in that aspect in which they have competence.

Oshiomhole said: “You visit a hospital, one doctor is gynaecologist, psychologist, pediatric, and the doctor treats everything. My wife was unfortunate to have been diagnosed as having something different while the cancer in her breast was growing."

“This generalized system of medical system is what we must review. It is not the task of government that things are not working. People elect government to make things work.

"That was why I decided to build what I called Five Star hospital to replace the decayed Central Hospital. I do hope that one day that hospital will open and you will see the equipment.

“One thing we need to do is appropriate compensation. When we have the right policy framework, the other level of compensation, people are paid according to, I believe doctors working outside the country will come back," he said.
