Lagos, with a population of over 21.2 million people and projected to be the 3rd largest megacity in the world by 2015 hitting the 25 million mark, is Nigeria’s economic and commercial nerve-centre
The Lagos State Ministry of Health (LSMH) in 2002 embarked on a comprehensive Health Sector Reform Programme (HSRP). A key initiative under the reform is to increase the overall capacity of the healthcare system in Lagos State as a measure to attaining universal access to qualitative healthcare. In this regard LSMH desires to create a state of the art Medical Park (“the Park”) to provide a full spectrum of excellent quality high technology cutting edge specialist medical and diagnostic services at a single location along the Lekki axis which has an annual growth projection of 16.8%.
The LSMH now seeks market feedback from interested local and international parties, on a non-committal basis, on the development of private hospitals/health centres at the medical park and/or the disposal of the 13,000m sq land via a PPP model.

It should include the provision of the following services with back-up diagnostic services for the polyclinics and in-patient facilities.
