As part of efforts aimed at helping Nigerians detect early warning signs, especially for non-communicable diseases and promote bespoke medical wellness assessment, Iwosan Wellness, a comprehensive assessment hub, was recently launched in Victoria Island Lagos.
Speaking during the launch, co-founder and Chief Executive Officer, Iwosan Investments, Fola Laoye observed that rise in lifestyle disease has led to demand in wellness checks, prompting providers to promote prevention.
She said: “We are seeing more lifestyle diseases. The National Council on Health has brought out preventive as one of the main areas of a strong healthcare system. It is important to build up the system locally and advocate to our population to realise that they can be looked after here.”
Laoye disclosed that the facility would also target a combination of medical assessments and personalised lifestyle services to help clients achieve optimal health and well-being.
According to her, competent coaches will create tailored programmes that address physical, mental, and emotional needs, empowering individuals to take control of their health journey.
On his part, consultant nephrologist and wellness coach at Iwosan Wellness Centre, Banji Awosika, said the consciousness of healthy living had improved among Nigerians compared to the 80’s.
Awosika said: “Ours is a sanctuary for individuals who seek to embark on a transformative journey to extreme health and we are methodical about tailoring our offerings to specific needs. This facility embodies our commitment to providing holistic care and helping individuals to get the best out of life at any age.”
Similarly, Managing Director, Iwosan Wellness, Oluwatomi Kogo, said the idea of the wellness hub is to provide lifelong partnership in preventive health and wellbeing.
Kogo added, “our team of experienced medical professionals, fitness instructors, nutrition experts and other wellness professionals work collaboratively to deliver the best outcomes to you.
“We are more than just healthcare provider, we are your trusted ally in preventive health and well-being. Our team of experience medical professionals, nutrition experts, fitness trainers, yoga instructors and meditation coaches work together to offer holistic approach to wellness.”
