This was the verdict of participants at the Fourth Annual Meeting of the Nigerian-American Medical Foundation (NAMFI) International in Lagos yesterday.
NAMFI is a non-profit organisation incorporated in Nigeria and the United States of America. It comprises international physicians mostly from America.
The participants said Nigeria could retain the $1 billion it loses yearly to medical tourism with aggressive development of infrastructure and human resource optimisation.
