With the number of Nigerians seeking medical treatment for several health conditions abroad, the Kingshaven Medical System based in Houston, United States, U.S. said it would be offering Nigerians quality and effective medical care in America.
Making their plan public during a life telecast programme in Lagos recently, the Kingshaven Medical System, which is a Medical Clinic in Houston, Texas, stated that it would be operating a programme called ‘Medical Second Opinion’ for the benefit of Nigerians that are experiencing medical health challenge for which they require a second opinion and treatment.
According to the U.S.- based Project Consultant for the Kingshaven’s ‘Medical Second Opinion’, Shegun Olagundoye, “The purpose of this programme is to provide second opinions to patients in Nigeria that have unresolved medical issues.”
Highlighting benefits of this programme, he said, “ A lot of Nigerians seeking medical assistance abroad don’t know where to go, “ adding that this is where the Kingshaven Medical System comes in to help by stepping in to coordinate and pass necessary medical information to those who need it in Nigeria. According to Olagundoye, Nigeria is a good place to start the pilot.
“We assess a patient from the U.S. based on contact with the patient’s physician in Nigeria. Ours is to quicken the treatment and this will save the patient a lot of money.” On what is unique about this service, Chief Medical Director of Kingshaven Medical System, George Miller, said based on the organisation’s 35 years experience on the field, it provides the highest quality of affordable service for patients.
The company provides comprehensive services including the transportation of the patients to the U.S. accommodation, among others to pave the way for a convenient medical care abroad. Along with family care, the Kingshaven Medical System provides the following services in association with various specialist and hospitals: Oncology, Cardiology, Obstetrics & Gynaecology, Gynaecology, Plastic Surgery, Mental Health, Dental services and Visual Care. The whole idea, according to the organisation is preventing Nigerians travelling abroad for medical care from falling into wrong hands.
