The Dangote Foundation yesterday began the construction of what has been described as one of “Africa’s most ambitious health facilities” in Kano State.
The health facilities will cost Dangote Foundation N2 billion.
President of Dangote Group, Alhaji Aliko Dangote, said he was planning to build the world’s best hospital in Kano State.
He said the plan would end the medical tourism, which has cost Nigeria billions of naira.
The hospital, which has been named Mariya Sanusi Dantata Ultramodern Theatre Complex, has modern facilities, including a diagnostic laboratory.
The complex would be built within the Murtala Muhammad Specialist Hospital in Kano.
Speaking at the foundation stone-laying ceremony in Kano yesterday, the Chairman of the Dangote Foundation Alhaji Aliko Dangote said the gesture was meant to support government’s efforts at achieving a sound health programme for the people.
Dangote said only healthy people can contribute meaningfully to the growth of the economy.
He said: “It is not just about creating a modern, new, sorely needed medical facility in this great city of ours. It is about our broader commitment to systematically improve the health and well-being of the people. This is one of our areas of focus.
“We believe that every Nigerian has a right to quality health care. We also believe that it is our collective duty to rally our resources to improve health infrastructure, support the development of health care professionals and improve preventive health measures in Nigeria.
“Today, we are pleased to be able to stand with the Governor as he lays the foundation stone for the 5-storey ultramodern theatre complex.”
Kano State Governor Musa Kwankwaso said the new facilities would eliminate the need to travel out of the country for treatment.
He hailed the Dangote Foundation for its interventions in Kano, making reference to a recent N600 million women empowerment scheme by the Dangote Group.
Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Governor Sanusi Lamido Sanusi said medical tourism cost Nigeria about N80 billion annually.
He urged other wealthy Nigerians to emulate Dangote’s philanthropic spirit.

Nice one - but do we Africans always have to compete with the "biggest" or "largest" or "state of the art" just put something out there -hospitsl, school, industries thst will benefit the people and nation.
The competition for the biggest and best have been won around the world centuries ago - just get in with it!

Nice one - kudos to Dangote. Now we need the qualified staff.
However, why do we Africans always have to compete for the "biggest" or "largest" or "state of the art" just put something out there -hospitals, schools, industries that will benefit the people and nation. Our medical services are nowhere near even some other "third world countries" (I personally do not like that term - but we bought it on ourselves!) so we should be catching up in providing adequate basic health care to our citizens - Giant of Africa - is becoming an over used cliche - and health is wealth.
After all the right to health is a right not a privilege.
The competition for the biggest and best hospitals and so on have been won around the world centuries ago - just get on with providing basic care!
