What specific problem are you solving?
Access to accurate and timely diagnostics is the foundation of effective healthcare delivery. Yet, in Nigeria, it represents one of the most fragile links in the patient care pathway. Alarmingly, only 1% of primary healthcare clinics and 14% of hospitals in the country possess basic diagnostic capabilities. This severe gap in diagnostic infrastructure leaves over 70% of Nigerians particularly in rural and underserved areas without reliable diagnostic services at the first point of care, exposing them to a cascade of healthcare challenges, including frequent misdiagnoses, inappropriate treatments, and avoidable deaths.
The consequences are devastating. Nigeria bears a disproportionate share of the 1.5 million annual preventable deaths in sub-Saharan Africa.
For the 70% of Nigerians who rely on primary healthcare centers as their first point of contact, the absence of diagnostic services eliminates opportunities for early detection and effective treatment. This gap also fuels the $1 billion annual loss to medical tourism, as many Nigerians seek reliable healthcare services abroad due to mistrust in the domestic healthcare system.
The lack of diagnostic capacity has far-reaching consequences for Nigeria's healthcare system, undermining national health objectives such as reducing maternal and infant mortality, combating infectious diseases, and managing NCDs.
