A U.S.-based Nigerian medical doctor and regenerative medicine expert David Ikudayisi, has unveiled a multi-million naira hospital named Glory Wellness and Regenerative Centre, in Abuja.
The hospital deploys stem cells technology, offering treatments for damaged body tissues, and accelerating the body’s natural healing process which prevents further degeneration.
The multi million naira hospital is
located at 7, Mamman Kontagora Crescent, Katampe, Gwarinpa in Federal Capital Territory.
Speaking on the reason for establishing the hospital, Ikudayisi explained that the driving force was his desire to come and help people in the country, and urged Nigerian doctors abroad to do the same.
“If that’s your passion, there’s always a solution to every problem. At the end of the day, when you look back, you’ll be happy that you did. You’re going to give it back to the country. And I’m happy to do that,” he said.
Ikudayisi likened regenerative medicine technology to a super-oxygen treatment that kills bacterial viruses and fungus in the blood, treats virtually every tissue issue, promoting regeneration and anti-ageing.
“Most importantly, it’s the adult stem cell therapy, the anti thermal therapy.
“So, any kind of condition, from diabetic stroke, kidney problems, autism disease, cerebral palsy, hypertension, arthritis, just name it,” he said.
He explained that the treatment involves using the patient’s own blood, or the fat on their abdomen area, or the bone marrow in the bone, or maybe the brachial core, which is the stem cells from the human body.
“You can use those things to reduce the inflammation, stop the inflammation, regenerate any of that, stop the process of deterioration in the body,” he added.
He said that regenerative therapy is affordable for people of varying statuses but advised them to seek early intervention because it costs more if the condition has been in their systems for long.
The Minister of State for Health, Dr Iziaq Salako, said the contribution of Nigerians in the diaspora to medical health development in the country was not being recognised enough.
Represented by Dr Babatunde Ladi-Akinyemi, his Special Adviser on Health System Strengthening, the minister described the amount of specialist capacity available in Nigeria as mind-blowing.
“It’s mind-blowing to hear that about 20billion dollars, you know, goes out of Nigeria on an annual basis on medical tourism. So, imagine what that kind of money can do back to Nigeria.
“We need a landing page on the website of the Federal Ministry of Health, where these numbers are found out every time.
“So that when people interact with public platform, you know, the AI, this is as a way of pulling you to the things that are of interest to you, then they can find out that there’s help right here in Nigeria,” he said. NAN
