The wife of the President, Aisha Buhari, has revealed that the Aso Rock Clinic does not have enough drugs in its store despite the billions of naira allocated to running it.
Aisha who was obviously enraged said she was forced to seek the services of a private healthcare provider when those in Aso Rock Clinic could not provide her with what she needed.
Speaking Monday at a stakeholders meeting on Reproductive, Maternal, Nutrition, Child Advocacy and Health and Nutrition, RMNCAH+N, at the State House, Abuja, Mrs. Buhari said she recently fell ill and was advised to travel to London for treatment, but she refused.
“I called the Aso Clinic to find out if they have an X-Ray machine, they said it’s not working.
“In the end I had to go to a hospital owned and operated by foreigners 100 percent.
“There is a budget for the Hospital and if you go there now, you will see a number of constructions going on but they don’t have a single syringe there. What is the purpose of the buildings if there are no equipment there to work with?”
“You can imagine what happens across the states to governors wives if this will happen to me in Abuja,” she said.
