“Eco Medical Village aims to provide world class health facilities and services to the ECOWAS region,” Ahiekpor said.
Upon completion, the $300 million health care facility would be the largest private hospital in West Africa.
The major facility is planned to be situated in Accra, while satellite units would be established in other West African countries.
Health care system is generally poor in many African countries, due to inadequate funding by the government. In 2015, 40,000 Nigerians visited India with half of them for medical reasons.
Some of these treatments include transplant and dental surgery, joint replacement among others.
