PRIVATE healthcare providers are expanding investments in specialist medical services as rising cases of chronic diseases, an ageing population and increasing demand for quality healthcare continue to reshape Nigeria’s healthcare landscape.
The latest move came from OneHealth by AXA, which has introduced Geriatric and Optometry clinics at its Victoria Island Medical Centre in Lagos, widening access to specialised care and reinforcing the growing role of private healthcare providers in bridging critical service gaps.
Industry stakeholders have increasingly stressed the need for greater investment in specialist healthcare as Nigeria grapples with a rising burden of non-communicable diseases, while eye disorders and age-related illnesses continue to place pressure on the country’s healthcare system.
Speaking on the expansion, Chief Business Officer of OneHealth by AXA, Wahen Egbe, said the new clinics were established in response to the evolving healthcare needs of Nigerians and the increasing demand for specialised medical services.
