Lagos To Construct N49Billion Medical Park by Nobody: 11:33pm On May 04, 2016 |
The Lagos State Government on Wednesday announced plans to commence the construction of world class Medical Park under a Public Private Partnership (PPP) arrangement, just as it restated its commitment to improve healthcare experience and promote medical tourism and excellent healthcare services of international standard in the State. The State's Commissioner for Health, Dr. Jide Idris who disclosed this while briefing Government House Correspondents after the weekly State Executive Council Meeting, said the project has already been awarded to MEDIPARK International Limited Consortium which comprises of MEDIPARK International Limited, Cleveland Clinics Ohio USA, St. Barnabas Healthcare System New Jersey and American Hospital Management Company Washington DC. Idris, who briefed journalists alongside the Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Mr. Steve Ayorinde and Commissioner for Physical Planning and Urban Development, Mr. Wasiu Anifowose, said the project would be completed in 20 months, and that it would gulp about N49 billion, while the State Government would only provide the land and the market. Idris recalled that the State Government had last year placed adverts in national dailies for Expressions of Interest for a development of a Medical Park aimed at ensuring qualitative healthcare delivery to Lagosians. He said 16 companies/consortiums responded to the advertisement, after which an Evaluation Committee was set up in line with State procurement guidelines with individuals comprising both statutorily mandated members and officers invited to lend technical depth to the exercise. "It gives me great pleasure to announce that after the receipt of a Certificate of Compliance from the State Public Procurement Agency and a final presentation today to the Executive Council of Lagos State, Approval has been given to MEDIPARK International Limited Consortium which comprises of MEDIPARK International Limited, Cleveland Clinics Ohio USA, St. Barnabas Healthcare System New Jersey and American Hospital Management Company Washington DC to be the developer to construct manage and operate a Medical Park. It is a joint venture arrangement with Ibile Holdings Ltd," Idris said. He said the Medical Park would be sited at the former Lagos State School of Nursing site, spanning over two hectares expanse of land along Awolowo Road, Ikoyi and will serve as a one stop shopping medical experience offering spaces to primary care physicians alongside in-house specialists as well as ancillary services providing a full spectrum of excellent quality high technology cutting - edge medical and diagnostic services to cater for general and specialty medical services tailored to meet the medical needs of Lagosians and Nigerians at large. The facility, Idris said would comprise of a central management area, clinic complex, theatre complex and procedure rooms, ward complex, conference and seminar complex medical goods and lifestyle shopping centre, stress management and lifestyle improvement unit, data cabling/integrated IT system, structured landscaping, residential accommodation, staff quarters, hotel, emergency and ambulance service, trauma unit, helipad amongst other things. He also said that the facility which will be built under the Public Private Partnership (PPP) initiative was a milestone in healthcare delivery aimed at reducing medical tourism abroad. http://odili.net/news/source/2016/may/4/325.html 6 Likes 1 Share

It's a welcome development. But, a national health insurance program needs to be in place before citizens can fully gain from the benefits of such world-class health care facilities. 9 Likes |

Sounds like another scam is cooking like ENRON and Tinubu?? There is no public statement from Cleveland Clinic-one of the best hospitals in world acknowledging this partnership.. This is like Harvard or Apple of medicine joining a partnership with a govt agency -without monetizing their brand and intellectual equity?? And LASG is only putting land?? Cleveland Clinic in Abu Dhabi is joint partnership between their govt and UAE. 6 Likes 2 Shares |

adconline: 1. Do you have the detailed facts and figures for the Lagos project? 2. The link you provided points to one thing: the AD project is an high-end luxury brand kinda project -- not your everyday clinic -- it can even cost $10b or more if waste of resources is not in question. 3. It was built on a man made island in AD -- land over there could go for 5-10 times or more, than the cost of land in Ikoyi; which the Lagos project is getting courtesy of the state government. 4. Don't go ahead accusing people of the same thing you are guilty of: 'high emotions' and 'facts'. 5. You can state your points without the name calling. 30 Likes |

good, but my own question be, why ISLAND again. That's why I no like fashola, everything na so so Island, that eko Atlantic should have been in mainland with so many swamps that can be filled up, but na sea their head choose. one day, dey go relocate alausa to island, because the rich will be scared of coming to mainland. 2 Likes |

arresa: Ndubisi, Ukiwe, Mudasiru, Akhigbe, Marwa . . . all were excellent . . . I was pointing out the same fact out to a friend some years back, that it is the dividend of good precedence -- the latter wants to out perform the former. Then factor in the fact that Lagos is the most de-tribalized state in Nigeria -- Lagosians want action -- nothing more, nothing less! We should replicate this at 'federal' level. 15 Likes |

OlujobaSamuel: Eko Atlantic is a private project and financed by private entities so what's Fashola or Lagos state got to do with it? And last i checked nearly all the projects Fashola commissioned are on the mainland. I know many of you villagers and wailers pick whatever silly rubbish to wail over, but please get some education before wailing ignorantly... 14 Likes 1 Share |

arresa: Lagos is far removed from the idiocy of the Nigerian state.All those former governors were well groomed professionals . You cannot come with your garage talk and expect to be elected . In fact, if the well groomed omoluabis took part in elections and voted regularly, idiotts will never get into power in Yorubaland . Lagos is building the infrastructure in Eko Atlantic ( a critical project that I support .even if I don't support 4MB). This medical village is another one of those groundbreaking projects that you can only find in Lagos , ogun or oyo . No public fund involved apart from support. In this case , government backing and land worth billions. I suggest that Lagos should try the hybrid charter school system with her public education. Hand over public schools to private managers. The managers manage the schools on behalf of the state while the state regulate conformance to standards 10 Likes |
