AVON Medical Ushers in a New Era of Healthcare with Ultra-Modern Facility Launch in Lagos

In a bold and visionary step towards redefining Nigeria's healthcare system, AVON Medical has officially launched its ultra-modern medical facility in Surulere, Lagos. The 25-bed facility, inaugurated on Monday, April 14, 2025, marks a major milestone in the country’s healthcare landscape. Under the leadership of Dr. Awele Elumelu, AVON Medical has reaffirmed its commitment to providing accessible, affordable, and world-class healthcare to Nigerians.

The new facility is equipped with cutting-edge technology and designed to deliver specialized medical services across various fields. Among its many offerings, the center includes an Accident and Emergency Unit, designed to provide immediate care for critical cases. Additionally, it features a Specialised Paediatric and Intensive Care Unit, which will provide high-quality care for children and patients requiring intensive monitoring. The facility is also equipped with advanced diagnostic services, including a brand-new ultra-modern CT scan machine. Moreover, a fully equipped theatre is available for complex surgical procedures, enhancing the center’s capacity to handle a wide range of medical needs.

Dr. Awele Elumelu, the driving force behind the establishment of AVON Medical, expressed her passion for transforming healthcare delivery in Nigeria during the official launch ceremony. “At AVON Medical, we are not just providing healthcare; we are transforming it. This facility is a reflection of our dedication to ensuring that every Nigerian has access to world-class healthcare without needing to travel abroad,” she stated.

The live launch event was attended by influential figures, including Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu and Mr. Tony Elumelu, the Chairman of United Bank for Africa (UBA) and a renowned philanthropist. Governor Sanwo-Olu delivered a powerful address, emphasizing the need for collaboration between the public and private sectors to improve healthcare accessibility. He called on Nigerian business leaders to support healthcare initiatives, specifically urging them to donate a portion of their profits to institutions like AVON Medical. “If every businessman donates just two percent of their profits to AVON Medical, we will witness a healthcare revolution in this country,” Governor Sanwo-Olu said.

The establishment of this new facility aligns with AVON Medical’s broader mission to bridge healthcare gaps in Lagos and across Nigeria, particularly as the population continues to grow. The center not only addresses immediate healthcare needs but also provides long-term solutions to communities that often face significant barriers to access.

As an affiliate of Avon HMO, AVON Medical is positioning itself as a leader in healthcare innovation. The new facility represents a significant investment in advanced healthcare infrastructure, and with its combination of technological advancements, patient-centered care, and compassionate service, it is set to play a pivotal role in the future of Nigeria’s healthcare system.

“This is just the beginning,” Dr. Awele Elumelu added. “Our vision is to expand this model across the country, ensuring that every Nigerian has access to the best healthcare services possible.”

With this major step forward, AVON Medical signals a bright future for Nigeria’s medical sector, one where quality care, innovation, and compassion will define the standard of healthcare services available to all.
