Excited about its performance in its two years of operation in Nigeria, in reducing medical tourism, the management of Euracare Multi-Specialist Hospital, Lagos, said the hospital would continue to maintain global standards and ensure patients’ safety while providing world class healthcare services to Nigerians.
Euracare, the management said, was founded in 2016, but was officially opened in 2017 to strengthen the nation’s healthcare system by reducing the rate at which many Nigerians travel abroad for medical treatment through quality and affordable healthcare delivery.
According to the management, since its establishment, the hospital has continued to successfully provide world-class advanced diagnostic and specialty treatment to Nigerians through a team of local and international medical professionals.
To commemorate this milestone, Euracare held an open day at its ultra-modern hospital in Victoria Island, hosting stakeholders from the medical industry, corporate bodies, partners and potential clients as part of the celebrations to mark its two years anniversary.
Rolling out the achievements of the hospital at the event, Head of Euracare and Managing Director, Nigeria, Glenn de Villiers, told journalists that the facility was founded for the good of Nigerians.
He said Euracare was established to give Nigerian patients an international healthcare standard through a complete package of cutting edge facilities and resources all in one
location.
He added, “We are happy that we have been able to make head way in such a short period of time. We have already built a strong base of operations with catheterisation laboratory and operating theatres. We have 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, including 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.”
The managing director noted that since its opening, Euracare had serviced over 10,094 patients and completed 1,022 CT scans, 1,219 MRI scans, 108 cardiac procedures, 356 surgical procedures, 1,075 x-ray and 1,107 ultrasound.
“The significant growth in the number of patients and procedures is indeed Euracare’s success story,” added.
Villiers commended various stakeholders for their support over the years, including clients, doctors, suppliers, bankers and other business partners.
