Utopian Consulting International

What Utopian Consulting International does

Utopian Consulting International (legal entity Utopian Consulting LLC, Ohio) is a boutique international healthcare consulting firm that delivers hospital design, construction management, commissioning, general healthcare consultation, and strategic planning services. Its primary service offerings are organised into three product lines: Hospital and Healthcare Design Consultation, Result Oriented Clinical Project Management, and Hospital Operations and Outsourcing. The firm's technology stack centres on healthcare information systems integration, with subject-matter expertise across EMR platforms (EPIC, NextGen, Eclipsys, McKesson), PACS/RIS/HL-7 imaging and interoperability standards, telemedicine infrastructure (real-time, store-and-forward, home health, distance education), and critical-care monitoring applications. There is no proprietary software product or public-facing technology platform; the firm delivers expertise as professional services rather than as licensed technology.

The company serves emerging-market healthcare systems, with a concentration in Sub-Saharan Africa and West Africa. Customer segments include government healthcare initiatives (ministries of health and state governments), healthcare providers (hospitals, diagnostic centres, and specialty facilities), and healthcare investors and developers pursuing PPP-structured projects. Named engagements span the Cross River State $40M Calabar Specialist Hospital PPP (sponsored by the IFC/World Bank, with Utopian as lead consortium member and concessionaire), the Ogun State Government 250-bed hospital (as technical advisor and M&E), the $22M Lagos Ambulatory Care Center, LUTH Cancer Care Center, Babcock University Cardiac Center, ASI Ukpo Hospitals, Nordica Women & Children's Hospital, and Diamed Diagnostic Center.

Utopian operates through a small team of US-based Nigerian consultants led by CEO Dr. John Bayo Adesioye (20+ years healthcare) and COO Mr. Babafemi Ehindero (22 years in Health Information Systems). It maintains a US headquarters in Westerville, Ohio, and operates a wholly-owned Nigerian subsidiary, Utopian Health Services Limited, with offices in Lagos (Victoria Island) and project presence in Calabar. Revenue is generated through fee-based, quote-priced, multi-year consulting engagements delivered via direct enterprise sales and PPP consortium structures; no external institutional investors or funding rounds have been disclosed.
