One of the Nigeria’s leading healthcare facility,
Lagoon Hospitals, has been named the ‘2017 Private Healthcare Provider of the
Year,’ a recognition the hospital received for its focus on quality and
clinical excellence in healthcare.
Contending with seven other hospitals nationwide,
the 2017 award was presented to Lagoon Hospitals by the Nigeria Healthcare
Excellence Award (NHEA), an annual event which celebrates distinguished
personalities and organisations who have contributed immensely to the growth of
the Nigerian health sector.
The award won by Lagoon Hospitals was determined
by an independent jury team, votes from the e-voting platform, and the final
decision of the Advisory Committee of NHEA.
Lagoon Hospitals is the pioneer of advanced
medical care in Nigeria, providing a range of primary, secondary and tertiary
healthcare services.
Constantly providing comprehensive solutions to
all healthcare problems, Lagoon has established itself in the delivery of
service excellence in the medical field, with all departments supported by the
latest technology and state of the art medical equipment.
A key principle of Lagoon Hospitals is that it
centres on innovation and qualitative healthcare. Driven by this principle,
Lagoon Hospitals strives to provide the best standards of patient care, which
has led to the development of unique specialties across medical disciplines,
within the Lagoon Hospitals Group.
The CEO of Lagoon Hospitals, Mr. Rajeev Bhandari,
commented “We are delighted to have received such a renowned industry award.
Our vision has always been for Lagoon Hospitals to become the most respected
healthcare service provider in Nigeria. This award symbolises that that vision
is being achieved. For us, there is no limit we will go to ensure Nigerians
receive the highest quality care they deserve, hence stemming the high medical
tourism from Nigeria to other countries. The award is also a testimonial of our
commitment towards providing quality healthcare services and clinical
excellence in Nigeria”.
Bhandari also talked about the exciting future
ahead for Lagoon Hospitals, the upgrading of its medical facilities to meet the
increasing demand for quality healthcare in Nigeria, and on the acquisition of
Gold Cross Hospital making it a part of the Lagoon Hospitals network.
Lagoon Hospitals is the leading provider of a
robust suite of quality healthcare services that include general, specialist
and diagnostic services, encompassing primary care, secondary care and some
aspects of tertiary care.
Lagoon Hospitals has recorded many firsts in the
industry. Lagoon Hospitals was the first hospital operator in sub-Saharan
Africa to receive international accreditation from Joint Commission
International (JCI) and remains one of only two hospital groups in sub-Saharan
Africa with this accreditation.
Lagoon Hospitals has also pioneered the provision
of a number of specialties, hitherto confined to a few government owned
teaching hospitals.
In June 2013, Lagoon Hospitals became the first
hospital in Africa to successfully execute the metallic replacement of a whole
arm (bone and joints).
Lagoon Hospitals was recently awarded the Best
International Hospital in Nigeria 2016 by the International Healthcare Commission.
