AXA launches Nigerian medical centre

AXA has launched OneHealth by AXA in Nigeria, a state-of-the-art hospital in the Nigerian capital Lagos.

The OneHealth Hospital is a state-of-the-art multispecialty, secondary care hospital in Ikeja, Lagos with more than 30 specialties and sub-specialties in its range of services in family medicine, cardiology, obstetrics, paediatrics, general surgery, ophthalmology, physiotherapy, and internal medicine.

AXA wants to introduce these medical solutions to the emerging Nigerian market to make healthcare affordable, accessible and convenient. Nigeria is the second African country in which AXA has launched medical centres.

Speaking at the launch of the medical centre, the Chief Executive Officer, AXA Africa Health, Khaled ElShaarany said: “AXA’s pursuit to improve access to protection and healthcare in Nigeria and Africa drives us to innovate by introducing an integrated health model where insurance and medical services synergise to give customers comfortable yet affordable access to the most competent doctors and medical staff.

“With an initial €25 million investment in Nigeria, we are excited to inaugurate this first medical centre in Ikeja and are looking forward to further openings in the next 12 months as we are constantly on the lookout for new opportunities for investment in the healthcare sector.”

AXA has said it will build three more facilities, like OneHealth, in Nigeria in the near future.
