IASO Medipark is developed under a formal Public-Private Partnership (PPP) with the Lagos State Government, operating under a long-term Build-Operate-Maintain-and-Transfer (BOMT) concession agreement. This structure provides long-term legal stability, government backing, and a clear operational and ownership framework for the full concession period.
Phase 1 is targeted to be fully operational in Q2 2027, delivering 60 beds, 4 operating theatres, a fully equipped emergency department, a comprehensive cancer treatment centre, and renal dialysis suites. The construction timeline for Phase 1 is set at 24 months. Phase 2 construction is planned to commence 12 months after Phase 1 construction begins.
Hospital operations will adhere to international healthcare quality standards — the most globally recognised standard for healthcare quality and patient safety. international accreditation governs patient safety, quality of care, and organisational management across the entire hospital operation.
Iwosan Lagoon Hospitals, the operators of the IASO Medipark Hospital, have received multiple consecutive cycles of international accreditation, and will extend this practice excellence to IASO Medipark — with the goal of delivering international accreditation to the new hospital from its earliest operational phase.
The hospital will be operated by Iwosan Lagoon Hospitals, a subsidiary of Iwosan Healthcare Systems and a leading Nigerian healthcare provider with nearly four decades of experience. Iwosan acquired Lagoon Hospitals in 2021, and has since expanded services, achieved multiple consecutive international accreditation cycles, and enhanced clinical excellence across all departments. The Iwosan team will bring this proven operational expertise to IASO Medipark from day one.
