To combat the high costs associated with curative therapies, Medic Partners Multi Specialist Hospital has launched a range of advanced procedures aimed at preventing medical challenges before they arise. The newly opened multi-specialist wellness center, located in Victoria Island, aims to assist Nigerians in navigating the challenging economic climate by providing preventive care and increasing health awareness.
Focus on Preventive Medicine
The Chief Medical Director and preventive care specialist, Dr. Busola Ayelowo-Eso, stated that the alarming prevalence of preventable diseases in Nigeria inspired the establishment of the center. “Many Nigerians adopt an ‘if it’s not bothering me, why should I worry?’ attitude toward health,” she noted. Dr. Ayelowo-Eso emphasized the need for greater awareness of preventive medicine, pointing out that the World Health Organization (WHO) recommends annual medical check-ups, yet many Nigerians only visit hospitals when they feel unwell.
State-of-the-Art Facilities
Medic Partners has invested in advanced diagnostic and treatment services to promote early detection and management. The facility boasts state-of-the-art imaging technologies, including digital X-rays and 4D ultrasounds, which offer high-resolution images for accurate diagnoses. Additionally, it operates a fully automated laboratory that provides comprehensive services, from routine blood work to specialized diagnostics like genetic testing and molecular diagnostics.
The center is equipped with a six-bedded dialysis unit and a fully functional cardiac unit, alongside a comprehensive wellness program.
Commitment to Quality Healthcare
Chief Executive Officer Akin Eso emphasized the center’s focus on exceptional patient experience and adherence to international standards. “We aim to bridge the gap for those seeking quality healthcare locally, thus reducing the need for medical tourism,” he said, highlighting the team’s assembly of top medical experts and technologies.
The facility employs approximately 40 medical professionals and 15 support staff, covering various specialties, including family medicine, dermatology, cosmetic surgery, nephrology, obstetrics and gynecology, pediatrics, and geriatrics.
“At Medic Partners, we are transforming healthcare delivery to ensure quality and personalized care,” Eso affirmed, adding that the center prioritizes seamless and comfortable patient interactions tailored to individual needs.
