A Nigerian hospital has launched advanced surgical procedures to address growing medical tourism pressures. Kelina Hospital, located in Lagos, has introduced state-of-the-art surgical technologies and trained specialists to offer complex procedures previously unavailable in the country.

The hospital has invested in modern equipment and partnered with international medical experts to enhance its surgical capabilities.

Medical tourism has been growing in Nigeria, with patients from neighboring countries seeking high-quality care. However, the sector has faced challenges due to limited infrastructure and skilled professionals.

The initiative reflects broader efforts by Nigerian institutions to modernize healthcare services and compete globally.
