Busola Ayelowo-Eso, the Chief Medical Director and a specialist in preventive care, highlighted that the alarming rate of preventable diseases in Nigeria was a key factor in the establishment of the center. She noted, “Many Nigerians adopt a dismissive attitude, thinking that if they are not experiencing any issues, there is no need to seek medical attention. Preventive medicine remains an underappreciated field, as people often resist addressing potential health problems until they manifest.”
Ayelowo-Eso further emphasized the need for a cultural shift towards preventive healthcare, referencing the World Health Organization's recommendation for annual medical check-ups. She pointed out that in Nigeria, individuals typically only visit healthcare facilities when they are unwell.
“We still have significant progress to make in promoting preventive medicine. Until it becomes common knowledge that everyone should undergo an annual health check, regardless of their current state of health, we will continue to face challenges.”
The founders of Medic Partners Multi Specialist Hospital have made substantial investments in cutting-edge diagnostic and treatment technologies to facilitate early detection and management of health issues. The facility is equipped with state-of-the-art imaging technologies, such as digital X-rays and 4D ultrasound, which deliver high-resolution images for precise and timely diagnosis of various medical conditions.
The laboratory operates with full automation, offering a wide range of services from standard blood tests to advanced diagnostics such as genetic and molecular testing, all delivered promptly. It features a six-bedded dialysis unit and has made significant investments in a fully operational cardiac unit, as well as a comprehensive wellness program, among other facilities.
“Our advanced services demonstrate our dedication to delivering world-class healthcare and ensuring that our patients have access to the finest diagnostic and treatment options available,” stated the Chief Executive Officer of Medic Partners, Akin Eso.
He further noted that the center is committed to providing an exceptional patient experience while adhering to best practices that meet international standards. Eso highlighted that the facility is designed to meet the needs of those seeking high-quality healthcare locally, thereby reducing the necessity for medical tourism by offering solutions within Nigeria.
The center is staffed by a dedicated team of around 40 medical professionals and 15 support personnel. The medical staff includes experts in various fields such as family medicine, dermatology, cosmetic surgery, nephrology, obstetrics and gynecology, pediatrics, and geriatrics.
“At Medic Partners, we are revolutionizing healthcare delivery by ensuring quality. This is why we focus not only on providing top-tier medical services but also on making every interaction seamless, comfortable, and tailored to your individual needs,” Eso remarked.
