A leading multi-specialist hospital in Lagos, Euracare Multi-Specialist Hospital is celebrating two years of robust and quality healthcare to about 11,000 Nigerian patients in its bid to curb medical tourism and provide world-class healthcare.

The hospital, which was founded in 2016 but officially opened in 2017, has continued to successfully provide world-class advanced diagnostic and specialty treatment to Nigerians through a team of local and international medical professionals.

The Managing Director and Head of Euracare, Glenn de Villiers, told newsmen during an open day at the facility that the family was established to provide international healthcare standard to Nigerian patients through a complete package of cutting edge facilities and resources all in one location.

He said, “We are happy that we have been able to make a head way in such a short period of time. We have already built a strong base of operations with catheterization laboratory and operating theatres.”

The MD further noted that they had established the need to cut down on medical tourism, bringing in medical consultants and necessary equipment from an intensive care unit to a full span of diagnostic equipment.

Glenn listed the equipment to include a 64 Slice CT Scanner, a 1.5 Tesla MRI, an Ultrasound and Echocardiogram - I believe all of this goes to show that we are here for the long haul - providing quality healthcare to Nigerians
