Healthcare Provider Expands To Nigeria

Leading private healthcare provider American Hospital Dubai has disclosed plans to unveil its first representative office in Lagos, enabling Nigerians to access its world-class medical services.

The initiative is part of American Hospital Dubai’s 30-office expansion across Africa and Eastern Europe to widen its medical care excellence footprint. Expanding to Nigeria will ensure more Nigerians benefit from the premier hospital’s world-renowned and evidence-based medical care at a reduced cost.

The group CEO of American Hospital Dubai, Sherif Beshara, disclosed this in a press statement made available to LEADERSHIP: “The UAE has consolidated its position as one of the premier global medical tourism destinations. It enjoys a growing international trust in the healthcare sector, excelling in delivering distinctive experiences and launching numerous initiatives to attract global medical tourists. The UAE’s expertise, innovation, high healthcare standards, and collaborations enhance its international standing in this field.

“American Hospital Dubai is committed to providing advanced medical technologies and collaborating with global experts in life sciences. It reflects our dedication to innovation, cutting-edge, multi-speciality healthcare services, and our commitment to patient safety and satisfaction.”

Board member of American Hospital Nigeria, Prince Tonye T.J.T Princewill, added, “No hospital has taken the steps that the AHD is taking. From their investment plan for the country to their capacity-building initiatives, list of equipment to be delivered, and overall rollout timetable for Nigeria, their commitment is clear. The country’s healthcare system will be a net beneficiary at the rate they are going. We need to encourage investors like them, and I’m glad about their reception.”

American Hospital Dubai has always been the medical care destination for Nigerians because of its top-notch, evidence-based, and culturally attuned treatments and care from the best doctors and specialists.

Opening its representative office in Lagos ensures American Hospital Dubai addresses the needs of more Nigerians looking for affordable and trusted healthcare overseas.

Besides being the channel for seeking medical treatments at American Hospital Dubai, the Lagos representative office will promote local community engagements and knowledge-sharing online seminars with Nigerian healthcare professionals. These education, empowerment and awareness-raising initiatives are integral to American Hospital Dubai’s mission to give back to society, and the representative office will actively engage with the Nigerian people and healthcare system.

Another significant feature of the Lagos representative office is its dedicated travel desk. It will design the most affordable treatment packages exclusively for Nigerian patients seeking care at American Hospital Dubai and provide complete support with their travel arrangements. Travel between Nigeria and the UAE has resumed after the UAE government lifted the ban earlier this year.

American Hospital Dubai also offers dedicated and round-the-clock international patient services. Its International Patient Team is fully trained to assist and advise patients and their families on consultations, appointment scheduling with the right doctor, and coordinating patient referrals. The International Patient Team also provides visa assistance, air travel arrangements, and hotel accommodations, with access to the hospital’s specialist doctors for comprehensive virtual consultations and addressing inquiries before patients arrive in the UAE.
