Medical Tourism: Senate Moves To Block Revenue Leakages, Exodus Of Doctors, Nurses

The Senate has moved to block revenue leakages from medical tourism following the consideration of a bill seeking the reduction in the number of Nigerians travelling to other countries for medical care.

Birth Tourism: US Block Visas For Pregnant Women Visiting To Give Birth

The visas covered by the new rule are issued to those seeking to visit for pleasure, medical treatment or to see friends and family. Conservatives have long railed against what they call “anchor babies,” born on American soil and used by their parents to bring in other family members.
