Ogun State governor, DAPO ABIODUN, has called for collaboration between the private sector and government to develop the country's health care sector with a view to reducing medical tourism.

The governor equally called for huge investment in the sector to reduce importation of medial consumables into the country, which according to him, would help the country to save its foreign exchange.

He observed that one of the major indices for a developing economy is the health status of its people, reiterating his administration would continue to initiate necessary policies and programmes towards providing efficient and effective health-care for the people.

Governor DAPO ABIODUN also disclosed that his administration had begun to connect healthcare centres in the state to the broadband internet in order to leverage on the Information Communication Technology for centralized Health Records Management System.
