First Cardiology Consultants

What First Cardiology Consultants does

First Cardiology Consultants (operating as FCC Healthcare) is a privately held, specialty cardiology practice headquartered in Ikoyi, Lagos, Nigeria, founded in 2013 by Dr. Adeyemi Johnson. The 132-employee facility delivers comprehensive cardiovascular care spanning diagnostic testing (EKG, echocardiography, stress testing, CT coronary angiography, high-sensitivity troponin assays), interventional procedures (angioplasty with stent placement, CABG heart bypass surgery), and vascular/interventional radiology, alongside preventive cardiology and executive health screening programs. A medically supervised Weight Loss Program, structured as 3-month and 6-month subscriptions with Saturday clinic sessions, extends the practice into recurring preventive care.

The company operates a direct-to-consumer model with patients booking online or walking in for emergency cardiac care. Revenue streams are predominantly fee-for-service professional services across consultations, diagnostics, and interventional procedures, with a growing subscription component from executive health and weight loss programs. Clinical leadership includes Dr. Adeyemi Johnson (Founder/CEO), Dr. Kofoworola Ogunyankin (Chief Medical Director), Dr. Monisola Adanijo (Cardiologist), and Dr. Hammed Ninalowo (Vascular and Interventional Radiologist). Distribution is wholly domestic via a single physical clinic and a self-serve online appointment system; marketing is driven by content (health blog), organic social media, community health events, and patient testimonials. Institutional partners include Dangote and Leadway alongside health advocacy partner Project Pink Blue.
