What Everight Diagnostic & Laboratory Services does

Everight Diagnostic & Laboratory Services Limited is a Nigerian ISO 15189-2022 accredited private medical diagnostic company, incorporated in 2005 (RC No. 623921) and headquartered in Abuja. Founded by Dr Everest Okpara in a three-room apartment in Ojo, Lagos, it operates four branches across Nigeria's South-East, South-West, and North Central regions (Lagos/Ojo, Owerri/Assumpta Avenue, Owerri Mall, Okigwe, and Abuja HQ), employs 450+ staff, and runs a Level 3 Biosafety Laboratory. Its service portfolio spans clinical pathology, histopathology, molecular diagnostics (real-time PCR for COVID-19, HIV viral load, HPV, hepatitis), genomic diagnostics (next-generation sequencing, karyotyping/FISH, PGT/NIPT, paternity testing), advanced medical imaging (1.5T MRI, 64-slice CT, 5D ultrasound, digital mammography, echocardiography, EEG, endoscopy), and laboratory management consultancy.

The business operates through a hybrid model combining fee-for-service diagnostics (per-test pricing), annual corporate retainer programs, prepaid cooperative healthcare packages for unions and associations, claims-based HMO billing through 20+ insurance partners (NHIS, Cigna, Leadway, Axa Mansard, Hygeia, Total Health Trust, NNPC HMO, and others), and professional services revenue from turnkey laboratory setup, LIMS deployment (via sister firm Sangtech Technologies Nigeria Ltd), and accreditation support for government institutions and private hospitals. Distribution combines owned-facility walk-ins and online appointment booking, on-site corporate services, research collaborations with universities and pharma, and CSR-driven outreach via the Everight Healthcare Foundation (300,000+ beneficiaries).

The company is founder-controlled, has no disclosed institutional funding, and holds several first-mover regulatory positions: first private lab with MLSCN COVID-19 PCR approval (2019), first ISO 15189-accredited histopathology lab in Nigeria, and first corporate member of the Nigeria Society for Human Genetics. Revenue and headcount growth have been steady rather than venture-backed, with capability upgrades (molecular in 2019, ISO 15189 in 2022 and 2025) layered onto a slow but consistent geographic expansion.
