Health and wellness retail giant Medplus has partnered with Mobihealth International to launch nationwide telehealth hubs aimed at providing Nigerians with convenient and affordable access to licensed doctors.
Announcing the collaboration in Lagos, both partners described the initiative as a visionary step toward bringing quality healthcare closer to millions through Medplus outlets across the country.
According to the partners, the Medplus-Mobihealth Telehealth partnership bridges the gap between pharmacy visits and doctor consultations, enhancing patient care and convenience.
‘Through this strategic alliance, customers across more than 140 Medplus stores in 19 states can now walk in to consult doctors virtually, access genuine medications, and receive prompt primary healthcare,’ they said.
Founder and CEO of Medplus, Mrs. Joke Bakare, said the partnership represents a transformative step in healthcare delivery.
‘Our collaboration with Mobihealth ensures every Medplus store becomes more than a pharmacy – it’s now a gateway to timely, affordable, and trusted healthcare services,’ she stated.
Similarly, Dr. Funmi Adewara, Founder and CEO of Mobihealth, described the initiative as a major milestone in expanding healthcare access across Nigeria.
‘By embedding telehealth hubs in Medplus stores, we’re empowering people to consult doctors anytime, anywhere, at an affordable rate – with guaranteed access to genuine medications,’ Adewara said.
The partnership will feature in-store telehealth booths equipped with diagnostic tools for virtual consultations, e-prescriptions filled on-site or delivered to patients’ homes, and seamless access to medical care.
Designed to serve both busy urban dwellers and underserved populations, the initiative aims to reduce wait times, lower costs, and make quality healthcare accessible nationwide.
