Speaker of the House of Representatives, YAKUBU DOGARA, has decried the high rate of foreign medical trips by Nigerians, calling for a total overhaul of the health sector to allow for efficiency.

DOGARA was speaking at a public hearing organised by the House Committee on Health on two bills at the National Assembly.

DOGARA said the high number of Nigerians who go on foreign medical trips and the attendant brain drain are indications that the health sector requires a serious surgical operation.
