LAGOS, Nigeria, October 18, 2022\/APO Group\/ —<\/p>\n

Today, the U.S. Trade and Development Agency announced that it has awarded a grant to Nigeria\u2019s Lily Hospitals Limited for a feasibility study to support the refurbishment and operation of 10 healthcare facilities in Nigeria. These facilities, located in multiple urban hubs across the country, will serve up to 25,000 patients annually. Lily selected Maryland-based Anadach Consulting Group, LLC, to conduct the study.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cPromoting access to quality healthcare services is a top priority for USTDA in Nigeria,\u201d said Enoh T. Ebong, USTDA\u2019s Director. \u201cOur partnership with Lily will provide the company with the necessary analysis to make informed decisions in support of its healthcare delivery priorities. At the same time, USTDA\u2019s engagement will help create opportunities for U.S. companies to supply the technologies and services that these healthcare facilities will require.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

We are committed to improving access to good quality and affordable care to Nigerians<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n

USTDA\u2019s study will assess and recommend the most suitable healthcare facilities for Lily to refurbish and integrate into its existing network of facilities. The project will increase access to modern, quality healthcare systems at a lower cost and in a shorter timeframe than commissioning and constructing new healthcare facilities.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis USTDA grant is very timely. It supports our expansion strategy of reactivating underperforming healthcare facilities. This will revitalize neighborhoods, create employment opportunities, support investment, and contribute to economic growth,\u201d said Dr. Austin Okogun, Lily\u2019s CEO. \u201cThis project will allow more healthcare professionals to contribute to their communities, while offering partnerships and franchise opportunities to medical and related clinical experts. It will also offer opportunities for U.S. companies to supply the high-quality technologies that these facilities will require. Above all else, we are committed to improving access to good quality and affordable care to Nigerians.\u201d<\/p>\n

USTDA\u2019s announcement of grant funding for Lily\u2019s feasibility study took place at the U.S. Embassy in Abuja, where the Agency announced a total of three new grant activities to advance healthcare access in Nigeria and across Africa.<\/p>\n

Nigerian Minister of Health, Dr. Osagie Ehanire, commented: \u201c[USTDA\u2019s grantees] will be equipped with more tools to develop their programs, be it as top-notch cancer treatment centers or other related services that address urgent healthcare needs in our country. A closer relationship with USTDA will also allow recipient organizations to draw on highly valued U.S experience in healthcare and build lasting partnerships that improve national and global health.\u201d<\/p>\n

USTDA\u2019s assistance to Lily advances one of the key pillars of the\u00a0Biden-Harris Administration\u2019s Partnership for Global Infrastructure and Investment\u00a0<\/a>, which aims to strengthen global health security through investments in patient-centered health services. The project also advances the U.S. government\u2019s Prosper Africa initiative to substantially increase two-way trade and investment between the United States and Africa.<\/p>\n
