What Paelon Memorial Hospital does

Paelon Memorial Hospital Limited is a private, multi-specialist boutique hospital founded in April 2010 by Dr. Ngozi Onyia in Lagos, Nigeria, operating a 15-bed main facility at 1221 Ahmadu Bello Way, Victoria Island, with additional branches in Ikeja, a VI Annex clinic, and a primary healthcare facility in Delta State. The hospital delivers primary, secondary, and tertiary services across 6 in-house specialties and 15+ visiting disciplines via 9 in-house consultants and 20+ visiting specialists, supported by a UK-trained Intensivist/Anaesthetist, digital point-of-care laboratories, a 2-bed ICU, 2 standard operating theatres with laparoscopic and C-Arm capability, a Special Care Baby Unit, and a 24/7 emergency fleet.

The technology stack centres on a paperless electronic medical record system built on customized Insta software with daily on-site and remote backup, and includes the only PillCam capsule endoscopy in Lagos, an on-site oxygen plant, and an advanced fertility lab (Paelon-Lily) offering IVF/ICSI, IUI, TESA, PESA, and surrogacy, alongside an endoscopy suite branded Scope City. The hospital pursues accreditation milestones, including the first SafeCare 5-star award in Africa, the Nigerian Healthcare Excellence Award (2018), HEFAMAA registration, IHF membership, and IFC EDGE Zero Carbon building certification (in progress).

Paelon monetizes across multiple streams: fee-for-service individual consultations and treatments, multi-year corporate retainer agreements for employee healthcare, transaction-fee claims via 9 HMO partners (Allianz, Avon, AXA Mansard, Bupa, Cigna, Hygeia, Leadway, Liberty, Reliance Health), designated medical services for the USA, Netherlands, and Canadian High Commission embassies, and bespoke health assessments. Go-to-market combines direct-to-consumer walk-in access, field sales to corporates, and institutional distribution through HMO/embassy channels, serving individual families, expatriate communities, and employer clients in Lagos and Delta State.
