Abuja Medical City (AMC) was conceived with the goal of meeting the high demand for quality patient-centered healthcare in Nigeria and Sub-Saharan Africa. According to a PWC report, Nigerians spend US$1 billion annually on medical tourism corresponding to a potential loss of 3.7 million patient treatments per year. The target of AMC is to change this trend by becoming a cost-effective destination for first-class comprehensive healthcare in a country of 180 million people, and with the largest economy in Africa.Located within easy reach of the Central Business District and the international airport, AMC's masterplan comprises of three zones for; the main medical facilities, supporting facilities, and additional useable area for future expansion. Through a phased plan, AMC will include an emergency care and trauma center, an ambulatory and outpatient care center, a primary and preventive health care unit, surgical and intensive care units, specialist centers, staff housing and recreational facilities, as well as potential academic developments. Through strategic partnerships, AMC aims to combine the expertise and services of global brands in healthcare delivery, medical equipment, pharmaceuticals, and medical education. The consultancy and technical services of internationally renowned consultants and professionals have since been engaged.AMC is the linchpin of Metro Group's four-year strategic plan to develop six world-class hospitals in the different geopolitical zones of Nigeria and its seven-year strategic plan to develop healthcare facilities and clinics in all thirty-six states of the country.
