STRONG DEMAND
With facilities around Lagos , Lagoon is able to cater to the healthcare needs of Nigeria ’ s , and indeed Africa ’ s , largest city . It is one of the fastest growing in the world , and also one of the most populous urban agglomerations . Indeed , Nigeria as a whole has experienced exponential population growth over the preceding decades . According to the 2017 revision of the World Population Prospects , the total population of Nigeria was 185,989,640 in 2016 , compared to only 37,860,000 in 1950 .
This means that there is significant potential for Lagoon to expand outside of its home city in the coming years . “ Our objective is to increase our footprint across Lagos and eventually across Nigeria ,” Bhandari comments . “ If any appropriate opportunities come along we will be evaluating those to see if we can increase our footprint . There is a strong demand for the private healthcare set up in Nigeria .”
