American Hospital Dubai, a top private healthcare provider in the UAE, has opened its first office in Lagos, Nigeria. This move is part of the hospital’s plan to establish 30 new offices across Africa and Eastern Europe, aiming to provide better access to high-quality medical care for Nigerians.
The new Lagos office is designed to assist Nigerians seeking medical treatment abroad. It will serve as a resource for patients interested in accessing American Hospital Dubai’s services, known for their excellence in medical care. The hospital is particularly popular among Nigerians for its top-tier, evidence-based treatments and culturally sensitive care.
Sherif Beshara, Group CEO of American Hospital Dubai, emphasized that the Lagos office will feature a dedicated travel desk. This desk will offer affordable treatment packages and support for travel arrangements.
Nigerian patients can benefit from visa assistance, air travel arrangements, and hotel accommodations. The office will also provide access to the hospital’s specialist doctors through virtual consultations, helping patients address their medical needs and queries before traveling to Dubai.
Beshara highlighted the hospital’s commitment to innovation and patient care. “American Hospital Dubai is focused on using advanced medical technologies and working with global experts. Our mission is to provide cutting-edge healthcare services while ensuring patient safety and satisfaction,” he said.
The expansion is not just about providing services but also about fostering collaboration and knowledge-sharing. The Lagos office will facilitate community engagement and enhance the exchange of medical expertise between international specialists and Nigerian healthcare professionals. This initiative is expected to enrich Nigeria’s medical landscape and improve local healthcare standards.
Tonye Princewill, a board member of American Hospital Nigeria, praised the hospital’s investment in Nigeria. He noted that the steps taken by American Hospital Dubai, including its investment plan and capacity-building efforts, set a high standard.
“The commitment shown by American Hospital Dubai is unparalleled. Their investment in Nigeria’s healthcare system and their detailed rollout plan are exemplary. This initiative will significantly benefit the healthcare sector in Nigeria, and we should encourage such investments,” Princewill said.
The Lagos office is part of a broader strategy by American Hospital Dubai to broaden its reach and impact. By setting up offices across Africa and Eastern Europe, the hospital aims to enhance its global presence and provide more people with access to its renowned medical care.
This expansion underscores American Hospital Dubai’s dedication to improving healthcare access and quality in Nigeria and beyond. The new office in Lagos is a significant step in making world-class medical services more accessible to Nigerians and reinforcing the hospital’s role as a leading healthcare provider in the international arena.
