Medserve

Advanced Healthcare For Every Nigerian

MedServe is transforming the Nigerian healthcare landscape with mordern infrastructure and cutting-edge medical technology, using a patient-centered approach.

About Medserve

NSIA Advanced Medical Services Limited (MedServe) is the dedicated healthcare subsidiary of the Nigeria Sovereign Investment Authority (NSIA), established to provide world class, accessible, and affordable healthcare services across Nigeria.

With a mission to transform the medical landscape, MedServe is driving innovation through cutting edge advanced medical technology, and a strong patient-centred approach.

Currently, MedServe manages NSIA’s three state of the art medical facilities, designed to enhance diagnostic and cancer care services: the MedServe LUTH Cancer Centre (MLCC), an oncology centre providing advanced cancer treatment; the MedServe Kano Diagnostic Centre (MKDC) and the MedServe Umuahia Diagnostic Centre (MUDC), offering comprehensive imaging and laboratory diagnostic services. These pioneering centres, staffed by highly skilled healthcare professionals, have set new benchmarks in medical excellence, ensuring that patients can receive top-tier treatment without the need to travel abroad.

MedServe evolved from the NSIA Healthcare Development and Investment Company (NHDIC), established in 2018 to address critical healthcare gaps and elevate service standards to international levels.

Under NHDIC, NSIA successfully developed these initial medical centres, laying a strong foundation for a more ambitious, nationwide healthcare expansion.

Building on this success, NSIA has launched its Healthcare Expansion Programme, a bold initiative aimed at improving healthcare accessibility and patient outcomes across the country. This programme will establish 23 modern medical diagnostic centres to enhance early disease detection and preventive healthcare.

Within these 23 diagnostic centres, three will include comprehensive oncology centres to expand access to advanced cancer treatment and reduce mortality rates, and seven catheterization laboratories to provide life-saving cardiac care and interventional cardiology services.

This expansion underscores NSIA’s commitment to strengthening Nigeria’s healthcare system, ensuring that high-quality medical services reach every region. Through strategic investments in advanced medical technology, capacity building, and infrastructure development coupled with an unwavering focus on patient care, MedServe is positioning Nigeria as a leading hub for medical excellence in Africa.
