How Akunyili’s Sickness Started + How She Got Into Power Because Of Her Honesty

The Guardian

When Mrs. Dora Nkem Akunyili was the Zonal Secretary (South-east) of the Petroleum (Special) Trust Fund in 1998, Nigerian doctors gave her what many of her family members considered to be a health scare. They said she had a growth and needed surgery.

Akunyili, then 44, decided to travel to the United States, first to get a second opinion and then undergo the prescribed surgery. The bill for the medical trip was $17,000, including $12,000 for the surgery.

An expert in Concierge Medicine said $12000 even 15 years ago would barely scratch the surface to do a full concierge medicine and work-up even before treatment.
