        Google her and check out her Twitter page. She's amazing and the work she is doing is great. One day, I will meet her and tell her how much I have admired her work from inception.

        Good business initiative but mainly for the benefit of mostly the rich. I however hope for the proper utilisation of our resources and good governance, which will make government build well-equipped hospitals for the benefit of all Nigerians, thereby reducing health tourism

        Of course it's for the RICH. Who else would afford to pay for an air ambulance. It's a business with high costs and needs to make money to keep it going. It's not a charity.

        I did. That's why I said mostly the rich. If we have well equipped hospitals, the exigencies for an air ambulance to evacuate the sick out of the country will be reduced. Domestic transfer will no doubt be needed in few instances
