Lekki’s LASMIIZO: Can Lagos Curb $1.5bn in Medical Tourism?

Every year, Nigerians spend over $1.5 billion on medical treatment abroad. Lagos plans to change that with LASMIIZO, a new medical, industrial and innovation hub in the Lekki Free Trade Zone. This project aims to make Lagos a leading centre for medical research, pharmaceutical manufacturing and specialised healthcare across Africa. It could reduce medical tourism and generate thousands of jobs. Real estate investors are already watching closely. Do you think Lagos can compete with India and Dubai in healthcare, or is this vision too ambitious? Share your thoughts.

Totally! If LASMIIZO delivers, Lagos clinics could start closing treatment gaps before we know it.

Lagos authorities could start by partnering reputable local hospitals with international clinics to build trust and improve capacity before full hub launch.
