AVO HEALTH LIMITED

What AVO HEALTH LIMITED does

AVO Health Limited is a Nigerian private limited company registered in 2006 (RC: 657200) that operates as a specialist public health practice organisation and multi-disciplinary technical services provider in Nigeria and across Africa. The company delivers end-to-end public health services — programme design, implementation, monitoring and evaluation — for Federal and State ministries of health, national health agencies, and international development partners including USAID, the World Bank, the Global Fund, WHO, and major implementing NGOs such as RTI International, Catholic Relief Services, and IHVN.

Its core technology stack centres on GIS-based health facility mapping (QGIS, Python Folium) and analytics for monitoring & evaluation (Python Pandas/NumPy/Seaborn/Matplotlib/Plotly, Tableau, MySQL, SPSS, RapidMiner Studio), alongside a logistics capability delivered through its wholly owned subsidiary AVO Logistics®. AVO Logistics operates as an established Third-Party Logistics (3PL) provider for medical sample transportation and last-mile distribution of health commodities, including as part of the National Integrated Sample Referral Network (NISRN) across nine Nigerian states.

Commercially, AVO Health generates revenue through two streams: (1) Public Health Technical Services — multi-disciplinary professional services engagements procured via donor-funded competitive tenders and direct contracts with government ministries; and (2) Logistics and Supply Chain Services — managed services revenue via AVO Logistics for last-mile commodity distribution and temperature-controlled sample transportation. Pricing is contract-negotiated and not publicly disclosed. The go-to-market is direct enterprise/government field sales: AVO operates either as a sub-contractor under USAID prime contractors (Abt Associates, Chemonics, RTI, Akesis) or as a direct contractor to Nigerian state governments, with current operations or projects spanning Abia, Imo, Enugu, Adamawa, Niger, Anambra, FCT, Gombe, Bauchi, Ebonyi, Delta, Taraba, Kwara, Benue, Cross Rivers, Kaduna, Kano, Ogun, Nasarawa, and Plateau States.
