care for two and a half weeks and is now completely recovered.
A hospital
source said Dr. Ogunbiyi was “irreplaceable” – such was the regard he was held
in the UK healthcare community.

Buhari on behalf of all Nigerians wished Dr. Ogunbiyi quick recuperation and
early return to work. Ogunbiyi, known as
Gunju at work, is part of a team of experts at the neuroendocrine tumour (NET)
unit at the Royal Free Hospital.
The team is
made up of a highly qualified team of consultant general surgeons, gastroenterologists
and oncologists.
Each
consultant sub-specialises in a different area of Neuroendocrine Tumours,
allowing the clinic to offer comprehensive treatment for private patients.
Ogunbiyi’s
special area is on Colorectal, gastroscopy OGD, colonoscopy, flexible
sigmoidoscopy, gastrointestinal cancers and lower gastro-intestinal cancers.
A video on
his recovery went viral last week as hospital staff cheered as he was wheeled
out of the recovery ward.
