How is LIHA reducing medical tourism by offering top-tier services

Life International Hospital Agu-Awka is actively working on reducing Medical tourism by providing nationally, not just medical services, but top-tier medical services which individuals feel can only be accessed by touring the world Internationally.

The Hospital has been able to achieve this feat through some key innovations:

An advanced technology used for diagnosing and treating women's reproductive health issues, enabling procedures such as laparoscopy and hysteroscopy.

• Advanced Fertility Treatment 

The Hospital offers a wide range of services, one of which is the specialized Fertility Treatment. They offer fertility services which includes In Vitro Fertilization (IVF), egg donation, surrogacy, egg freezing, Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) and Laparoscopy surgery.
