After opening its first Nigerian office in Lagos few days ago, the American Hospital Dubai, has said it will soon open another office in Abuja, the country’s federal capital.
The Abuja office, like its Lagos counterpart, will assist Nigerian patients with visas, flights, and accommodation, making it easier for them to receive world-class healthcare in Dubai if needed.
It is also considering opening more offices across the country, to serve as a key link between the Dubai-based hospital and Nigerian patients, providing easier access to advanced medical care in Dubai.
The Lagos office of the health facility was commissioned by the Consulate General of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in Nigeria, Dr. Abdullah Al-Mandoos, alongside the Lagos State Commissioner for Health, Prof. Akin Abayomi, who represented Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
Speaking with newsmen in Port Harcourt, Prince Tonye Princewill, a member of the board of American Hospital Dubai Nigeria Limited, said the offices will function as embassies of the hospital in the country.
Princewill said, “Consider it or look at it as the Embassy for the American Hospital. If you want to go to the American Hospital in Dubai and pass through this office, your trip will be seamless.
“It will even make your trip cheaper because I was able to negotiate heavy discount for Africans.”
He stated that the expansion reflects the first phase of the American Hospital Dubai’s commitment to investing in Nigeria and improving healthcare access for its people.
Highlighting the hospital’s plans for further expansion within Nigeria, the board member said: “We considered setting up additional representative offices to ensure broader access to our services.
“Just like the Lagos office, the Abuja office will also serve as another healthcare ’embassy’, bridging the gap between enquiries and travel to the American Hospital Dubai for medical treatment. The hospital is quite popular with Nigerians, but we don’t want to take them for granted.”
“The Abuja office, like its Lagos counterpart, will assist Nigerian patients with visas, flights, and accommodation, making it easier for them to receive world-class healthcare in Dubai if needed.
“This expansion reflects the first phase of the American Hospital Dubai’s commitment to investing in Nigeria and improving healthcare access for its people. The state of the art diagnostic centre comes next.”
