BT Health & Diagnostics Center

What BT Health & Diagnostics Center does

BT Health & Diagnostics Center (BTHDC) is a private diagnostic center that provides radiology, cardiology, pathology, laboratory, and genetics/molecular biology services from a single facility located within Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH) in Ikeja, Lagos, Nigeria. The company operates as a Public Private Partnership (PPP) between PPC Limited and Lagos State Government, with technology affiliation to Philips Medical System. Its service portfolio spans comprehensive laboratory testing (microbiology, hematology, endocrinology, serology, clinical chemistry, and molecular diagnostics), advanced imaging (X-ray, ultrasound, mammography, fluoroscopy, CT, and MRI), and cardiac investigations (ECG/Holter, EEG, Echo, Doppler, spirometry, and stress tests), supplemented by an emergency ambulance service and interventional radiology consultations.

The center's technology platform is anchored by a 1.5 Tesla MRI system supporting advanced procedures including Cardiac MRI, MR Spectroscopy, MR Angiography, Breast MRI, and Brain Perfusion imaging, alongside a Philips Brilliance CT 64-slice scanner, advanced digital X-ray, and fully automated laboratory analyzers across five diagnostic departments. A digital infrastructure layer includes an online patient result portal (tlm-bthdc.easymedical.ng), an internal HIS (Hospital Information System), queue management, and incident management platforms. The facility operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and the company holds NDPA (Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023) compliance certification.

BTHDC generates revenue through fee-for-service diagnostic procedures, with pricing not publicly disclosed and determined at point of service. Its go-to-market is hybrid: a direct-to-consumer walk-in model for individual patients combined with enterprise/B2B patient flow from LASUTH physician referrals under the PPP arrangement. The center serves hospital patients requiring diagnostic workups, emergency patients needing ambulance transport across Lagos, and healthcare providers ordering specialized tests. Distribution channels include the physical LASUTH location, an online result portal, the ambulance service, and hospital-internal referrals, with brand presence across Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn.
