R-Jolad Hospital Wins “Private Secondary Healthcare Facility of the Year” at NHEA 2025
- A Milestone in Affordable, Quality Healthcare Delivery in Nigeria
R-Jolad Hospital, a trusted name in Nigeria’s healthcare landscape, has been named the “Private Secondary Healthcare Facility of the Year” at the 2025 Nigeria Healthcare Excellence Awards (NHEA). This win is a validation of the hospital’s over-four-decade legacy of providing affordable, quality, and patient-centred healthcare to Nigerians.

A Legacy Rooted in Service
Founded in 1982, R-Jolad Hospital popularly known as ‘The People’s Hospital’, was built on a simple but powerful belief: that quality healthcare should be accessible, dignified, and reliable regardless of income or background.
What began as a modest clinic in Gbagada has grown into a multi-location healthcare network with 215 beds across Gbagada, Agege, Isolo, Bariga and Ikeja, now serving over 185,000 patients annually. At our Gbagada flagship location, we offer 24/7 emergency care alongside a full range of services including specialist consultations, diagnostics, surgery, maternal care, dental services, physiotherapy, an Intensive Care Unit (ICU), High Dependency Unit (HDU), and more, all under one roof.
“For 43 years, we have remained committed to one thing: service,” said Dr Funsho Oladipo, Founder and Managing Director, R-Jolad Hospital. “This award is a tribute to the families who trust us and the teams who show up every day to deliver care with dignity and excellence.”
“Our patients are the heroes of this story,” added Dr. Abiola Fasina-Ayoola, Medical Director. “This award belongs to them and to every staff member who believes healthcare should be a right, not a privilege.”
Innovation That Understands Real Lives
R-Jolad’s model is tailored to the real needs of everyday Nigerians, from complex surgeries and chronic disease management to maternal care and routine checkups. With a growing network of Express Clinics, digital medical records, and telemedicine services, the hospital is building a more connected, responsive and tech-enabled healthcare system that serves patients efficiently.
Whether it’s a young professional managing hypertension in Gbagada or a mother seeking safe delivery in Isolo, R-Jolad’s care is grounded in both competence and compassion.
Beyond individual care, R-Jolad partners with corporate organizations to provide executive medical screenings, occupational health services, and tailored wellness packages for Nigeria’s dynamic workforce. Through collaborations with HMOs and health tech platforms, patients enjoy seamless, coordinated experiences that combine the speed of private care with the values of public health.
The hospital’s mission also reaches beyond its walls. Through community medical outreach, subsidized surgeries, maternal health initiatives, and public health education, R-Jolad is closing healthcare gaps in underserved communities across Lagos.
R-Jolad’s story is not defined by one moment of recognition, but by 43 years of unwavering commitment to the people it serves, always staying close and never losing sight of its vision of affordable and accessible healthcare.
