President Goodluck Jonathan yesterday commissioned the $20 million (N3.2billion) Nizamiye Hospital which is considered a milestone in bilateral relations between Nigeria and Turkey.
The 80-bed world-class facility situated in an industrial layout in Abuja is the first time Turkey, under the Nigeria-Turkish expatriate business group, ventures into healthcare.
“This hospital is another token of our interest and determination to come to Nigeria in the best way we can, of course,” said Mustafa Pulat, Turkey’s ambassador to Nigeria.
Both countries have maintained bilateral relations in business terms since the Nigerian-Turkish group began its gradual creep in 1998 into Nigerian education system. From primary and international colleges, Nigerian-Turkish group now runs 16 schools, including Nile University it started four years ago.
Nizamiye took an estimated $20 million (N3.233 billion) to be set up, said its medical director, Dr Mustafa Ahsen, and that its manpower stands at around 148, Nigerian and Turkish nationals combined.
Nizamiye, occupying four floors on prime property, started work last year, months before its official opening, offering services in internal medicine, radiology, ear-nose-and-throat, pediatrics, orthopedics and gynaecology.
