Abstract
Travelling for medical attention has long been an obligation. Obtaining specialist care remains problematic for many, particularly those with rare conditions. Antony Eden, former British Prime Minister, travelled several times to the USA for biliary reconstruction.1 Several African presidents have elected to obtain treatment outside their own countries, namely Banda from Malawi to South Africa, Mugabe from Zimbabwe to Singapore, though more for geopolitical than medical reasons.
