Padiyath Healthcare, an Indian healthcare group, has unveiled plans to invest $100 million in Nigeria’s healthcare sector. The announcement was made by the group’s chairman, Hazeeb Rahman Padiyath, during Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Nigeria.
The investment aims to provide Nigerians with access to world-class medical facilities at affordable rates. As part of the initiative, the group is set to launch Padiyath Mayfields Hospitals, a 300-bed tertiary care facility located in Abuja’s Suncity Estates, Galadimawa. Upon completion, it is expected to be Nigeria’s largest private-sector hospital.
The hospital will feature cutting-edge diagnostic tools, including a 3T MRI and a 256 Slice CT Scan, the first of their kind in West Africa. It will also house a cardiac catheterization lab, 24 super-specialty centers, a 25-bed intensive care unit, and an operation theater integrated into the emergency department. An additional advanced operating complex on the third floor is designed for lifesaving procedures during emergencies. The project is slated for completion by February 2025.
Padiyath Healthcare is also establishing Padiyath Cancare Hospitals, a 200-bed cancer institute in Abuja. The state-of-the-art facility will specialize in cancer treatment and include advanced equipment such as PET scans, a linear accelerator, and a gamma knife for precision therapy.
These investments signal a transformative step in Nigeria’s healthcare sector, promising to elevate the standard of medical services across the country.
