This has been the question recently asked by the National Executive Council (NEC) of the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) over the choice of an overseas hospital for the treatment of President Umaru Musa Yar'Adua.

In a statement released at the end of its annual general meeting in Uyo, Akwa Ibom, it "noted with deep concern the state of health of our dear President and Commander-In-Chief, Alhaji Umaru Musa Yar'Adua, and wishes this committed servant-leader who obviously means well for this country a quick and total recovery."

The statement signed by NMA's National President and Secretary General, Doctors Prosper Ikechukwu Igboeli and Kenneth Johnson Okoro, however, "expressed deep reservations about the resort to treatment abroad by the nation's leaders and enjoins political leaders to take measures that will engender confidence of all in our health system."
