Indian Hospital Features Abdulsalami Abubakar’s Recovery in Promotional Video

An Indian hospital has featured former Head of State Abdulsalami Abubakar in a promotional video following his knee replacement surgery in Ahmedabad. The footage shows Abubakar during treatment, physiotherapy and recovery. It also includes Vice-President Kashim Shettima, who visited the former leader and thanked the hospital’s chairman for his care. The hospital described the video as evidence of its international patient services. It is unclear whether Abubakar approved the public use of details and images from his treatment. The video has renewed criticism of medical tourism by Nigerian public officials, with commentators questioning why leaders continue to seek specialist care abroad rather than improve healthcare at home.
