The Top 5 Innovative Cardiovascular Hospitals In Nigeria
“Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Nigeria is no exception. Conditions such as hypertension, coronary artery disease, and heart failure are on the rise, fuelled by lifestyle changes, urbanisation, and limited access to preventive healthcare. Without timely intervention, these diseases can lead to severe complications, placing a significant burden on individuals and the healthcare system. Specialised hospitals are crucial in combating this growing crisis by providing advanced diagnostics, expert cardiology care, and life-saving cardiovascular/thoracic surgical interventions. From routine heart check-ups to complex procedures like open-heart surgery and cardiac catheterisations, these hospitals serve as critical centres for improving patient outcomes and reducing CVD-related fatalities in Nigeria. This article highlights the top five cardiovascular hospitals in Nigeria, recognised for their excellence in cardiovascular care.”
The Path To Emotional Intelligence
“For many years, people used the intelligence quotient to gauge a person’s leadership skills. Until recently, we discovered that the intelligence quotient, or cognitive intelligence, is not the ultimate yardstick for measuring leadership abilities—emotional intelligence is. Experience, degrees, training, and proficiency are qualities that leaders should possess. However, these qualities will not make the leader shine very bright without EQ. People are more attracted to our people skills than our cognitive skills.”
