Established in 1984 by Professor Emmanuel and Professor (Mrs.) Oyin Elebute, and commencing operations in 1986 as a provider of integrated healthcare services, Lagoon Hospitals is currently the largest private healthcare services Group in Nigeria with 6 healthcare facilities.

Lagoon Hospitals is the only Nigerian Hospitals accredited by the Joint Commission International, and one of two in Sub-Saharan African to be so accredited.

Recently, Lagoon Hospitals received her Certificate of Re-accreditation from JCI.

Lagoon Hospitals is driven by a single thrust, to provide the best standards of patient care. It is this passion that has led to the development of unique specialities across medical disciplines,  within the Lagoon Hospitals Group. These specialities include Orthopaedics & Trauma, General Surgery, Critical Care, Medical & Surgical Oncology, Urology, Cardiology, Obstetrics & Gynaecology and Paediatrics.

Tertiary Services have recently been introduced into the bouquet of clinical offerings at Lagoon Hospitals, and some of these include Neuro Sciences, Advanced Urology, Nephrology, Gastroenterology, Orthopaedics (including Arthroplasty and Joint Replacement).

One of the major goals of Lagoon Hospitals is to provide healthcare at affordable rates, of high-quality standards to Nigerians so that they can actually avail those services within Nigeria, without having to leave Nigeria.

Lagoon Hospitals has over the years won numerous awards and recognition as a testament of its impact to healthcare in Nigeria, with other achievements as being the first hospital in Africa to have a metallic replacement of whole arm bone and joints, and the Hospital where the first open heart surgery in Nigeria was performed.

The Hospitals Group boast of a very strong commitment to quality – the quality of the healthcare provider, patient care and clinical excellence.

The Gold Seal of Approval® is a symbol of quality that reflects an organization’s commitment to providing safe and effective patient care.

CT Scan
Computed Tomography (also known as CT Scan) provides head-to-toe images of the body, and provides speedy, one-second helical scans, minimizing the amount of time for our patients.

The advanced 64-slice CT Scanner available at Lagoon Hospitals can take 64 images per revolution. This creates a clear, thorough image of the body, providing a faster, more accurate diagnosis.

MRI
Magnetic Resonance Imaging, or MRI, is used to diagnose conditions affecting soft tissues in the body such as the muscles and nerves in backs and necks. Our MRI Unit is open for service Monday through Friday, so you can have your MRI scan done conveniently.

Breast Imaging
We employ mammography and ultrasound for breast imaging. Our mammography machines at Lagoon Hospitals are used both for screening and diagnostic purposes. Ultrasound exams help physicians obtain a more detailed view of a particular region of the breast.

Ultrasound
An obstetrical ultrasound exam looks at a woman’s uterus and ovaries, and at the fetus. The ultrasound equipment at Lagoon Hospitals automatically calculates all important measurements related to the development of your baby before birth. This equipment is also used for abdominal ultrasound exams not related to pregnancy.
