The National Hospital Abuja has bared its min on the controversy surrounding the condition of the ailing actor, Zack Orji.

The National Hospital in a statement by its spokesman, Tayo Haastrup, said:

“The attention of the National Hospital Abuja has been drawn to a publication insinuating that the Apex hospital referred the Nigerian Actor Zack Orji to a private hospital in Abuja.”

“To set the record straight, the actor, who was brought in on New Year’s Eve and admitted to the intensive care unit, was stabilized by National Hospital Abuja and moved to the ENT ward.”

“Later in the day, he was transferred to the orthopaedic ward, where our surgeons began preparing him for surgery.”

“However, the relatives of the patient signed a form “Leaving Against Medical Advice” on January 1, 2024. This thwarted all preparations for his surgery.”

“Nevertheless, the Management of National Hospital Abuja wishes him a speedy recovery.”
