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.

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.
