ENT issues are more common than many people realize, and early treatment can prevent complications. Children with frequent ear infections, adults with sinus problems, or elderly individuals with hearing loss can all benefit from proper ENT care. Vice President Kashim Shettima has reiterated the Federal Government’s commitment to advancing Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) care across Nigeria as part of its broader drive to strengthen the nation’s healthcare system.
Speaking at the commissioning of a new ENT specialist center, Shettima emphasized that improving ENT treatment is no longer a luxury but a critical need in addressing the growing burden of hearing impairments and related health issues. He further highlighted the FG’s plans to collaborate with local and international partners to scale up access to ENT services in rural and underserved communities, ensuring equitable healthcare delivery.
The Vice President stressed that better ENT care would not only enhance public health outcomes but also reduce the financial and emotional burden of traveling abroad for basic and advanced ENT treatments. “We are determined to close the gap in specialized medical care in Nigeria,” he concluded.
This renewed focus on ENT care aligns with the government’s broader health sector reform, aimed at making quality healthcare accessible and affordable for all Nigerians. Click the link to read more..
