His hospital's budget not his worth.

I think it's a good idea, the kind of politics politicians are currently playing is something one need to be careful and think twice.

If he had accepted, before you know it, they would turn him into full politician, not for his good o, but to see how they can tap into his finance by encouraging him to come and run as governor for his state.

Along the line, the same people in the nearest future may turn back against him, mostly if they happened to be opposition, by using government agency to fight him with all manner of allegations, e.g, he diverted funds to support his hospital abroad while he was a minister, before you know it they would send (......name it by your self.......) after him.

As it is today political party and their leader has high-jacked Nigeria and not ready to give up with continue looting as if Nigeria's money it's their sole birth-right, they forget that by they time they finished Nigeria through embezzlement for their children and families, the rest and higher number of poor people of Nigerian who has no father/mother who embezzled money for them, what would they do?

Its simple; somebody who is cooking a Delicious put of soup with a good aroma where there are people who are hungry, knowing fully well that their birth-right is part of what is bringing out that aroma, do they need approval to go and eat from the soup? only time shall give the answer, while we hope to have leaders who would do the right thing.

Which sensible person would serve under buhari who is not a politician ?

PDP had a mix of politicians and brains in key area

But buhari just packed politicians full everywhere

I think they meant to put N instead of $
Common mistake


Nevertheless, his choice to make. No need to turn it into nonsense propaganda

Xenophobic attack never comot for group this baboon don start cheating if we talk now them go de wail.

Any good successful man shouldn't soil his hand in Nigerian politics ..

I looked at that hospital and he does not own it. Why lie so much OP

ChristianEast:

His hospital's budget not his worth.

No link to support your claim?

this is not matter of Biafra its a matter of common sense. Except he is going there to embezzle money, which can put him into all kinds of trouble after Buhari tenure ends, he stands more to gain from the American hospital that as Nigerian minister.

He could be a doctor for the next 20years and get retirement and not warrant any political problem or witch hunt later in his career.

or

he can be a minister for only 4years then his problem starts, cause just by accepting that post he has given EFCC an excuse to raid his house whether he is guily or not.

make money just click my profile link dont waste ur data for notting make money online marketing [b][/b]

He is worth $13billion and he’s not rated by Forbes

Okay

ChristianEast:

His hospital's budget not his worth.

If he owns a hospital with an annual budget of $13billion, it is accurate to rate him a billionaire and have his name on Forbes list.

We all chest beat once in a while but you guys take it to a very ridiculous level. Buhari didn’t offer that guy any ministerial appointment. Any random person can snap with the Vice President so look for a better proof to back up your claim. In fact, the mod should move this thread to the jokes section. The claim is simply hilarious.

Hmmm....

We don start...

About Montefiore Medical Center


Commitment to Excellence
As the academic medical center and University Hospital for Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Montefiore Medical Center is nationally recognized for clinical excellence—breaking new ground in research, training the next generation of healthcare leaders, and delivering science-driven, patient-centered care.

Montefiore is ranked among the top hospitals nationally and regionally by U.S. News & World Report. For more than 100 years we have been innovating new treatments, new procedures and new approaches to patient care, producing stellar outcomes and raising the bar for medical centers in the region and around the world. As we build on this momentum, we continue to advance the practice of medicine and set the standard for excellence.

Enduring Mission and Distinguished History
The mission of Montefiore is to heal, to teach, to discover and to advance the health of the communities we serve.

From its beginning in 1884, as a facility for the care of patients with tuberculosis and other chronic illnesses, to the new millennium, Montefiore has been at the forefront of patient care, research and education and steadfast commitment to its community.

Our Services
We provide coordinated, compassionate and leading-edge care designed to reach people when and where they need it most. Through highly integrated teams of physicians, nurses, social workers, mental health professionals and other caregivers, we have created an innovative, seamless system of care focused around the patient.

Centers of Excellence
At the intersection of Einstein science and Montefiore medicine is our commitment to scientific inquiry. This commitment has resulted in the creation of the Montefiore-Einstein Centers of Excellence in cancer care, cardiovascular services, transplantation and children’s health, where nationally recognized investigators and multidisciplinary clinical teams collaborate to develop and deliver advanced, innovative care.

Advanced Specialty and Surgical Care
We offer advanced, multidisciplinary care across specialties, delivering one standard of excellence for all. Our interventions are designed to help patients understand and manage their illness, advocate for their health, access the right treatments and receive the vital social support they need to flourish. On multiple fronts, Montefiore is developing more effective and less invasive approaches to complex problems from procedures to repair diseased hearts, protocols to treat complex cancers and medical devices designed to meet the needs of growing children.

Primary Care
With nearly 50 primary care locations throughout the New York metropolitan area, we are focusing on accessible, patient-centered primary and preventive care provided by leading physicians in the areas of family and internal medicine, pediatrics, obstetrics and gynecology, and a team of experts in nursing, health education, nutrition and pharmacy.

Providing Care Without Walls
Montefiore combines its deep commitment to the community with nationally-renowned expertise to reach people in locations easiest for them. Through Montefiore’s School Health Program (MSHP), Primary Care at Home programs, mobile medical and dental health vans and health education initiatives, Montefiore provides primary care services in non-traditional settings.

Through the formation of highly integrated teams of physicians, nurses, social workers, mental health professionals, care managers and other caregivers, we provide care around the patient, when and where they need it.

Research and Education
Montefiore's partnership with Einstein advances clinical and translational research to accelerate the pace at which new discoveries become the treatments and therapies that benefit patients. Together, the two institutions are among 38 academic medical centers nationwide to be awarded a prestigious Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) by the National Institutes of Health.

The second-largest medical residency program in the country, with 1,251 residents and fellows across 89 programs, Montefiore provides the doctors of tomorrow a unique opportunity for education and training in one of the most diverse urban areas in the country — one where the population is global, the disease burden is high, and the need for quality care is great.

The partnership is further strengthened by the dual appointments of faculty and physicians across both organizations—enhancing synergies and collaborations for research, teaching and patient care.

Comprehensive Care Management
Since 1996, Montefiore has developed advanced models of care management to help patients, especially those with chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart failure and mental illness, achieve better health and improved wellbeing in a cost effective way. Montefiore goes beyond fragmented fee-for-service payments, assuming total responsibility for the quality and costs of care for some of our sickest patients.

Through CMO, Montefiore Care Management, we use a global prepayment or similar strategies to manage care for 200,000 individuals over the continuum, including hospital care, rehabilitation, outpatient care, professional services, home care, mental health counseling, community-based services, remote patient monitoring and many other programs.

Our leadership in coordinating care across multiple settings has earned us federal recognition from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services as a Pioneer Accountable Care Organization. Montefiore's ACO is one of only 32 organizations in the nation, as well as the only one in New York State, to operate under this new model of providing Medicare beneficiaries with higher quality care, while reducing expenditures through enhanced care coordination.

Montefiore Medical Center could be worth $13 billion. But Philip is the president, not the owner. It is owned by the University and thus by the owner of the University. It has strong Jewish connection

They come up with the most ridiculous rubbish ever..

d33types:

Why present a false headline in the first place?

According to the OP, the dude owns an hospital with an annual budget of $13billion. So, what’s your point exactly?

Well I believe he has his reason for rejecting the ministerial position, but still I believe, no matter what, when mother Nigeria call, no matter who sit in Aso Rock, we the children of mother Nigeria should obey.
