Medplus, one of Nigeria’s largest health and beauty retail chains, in a move to bring quality healthcare closer to millions of Nigerians, has partnered with Mobihealth International, Africa, to establish telehealth hubs within Medplus outlets nationwide.
According to a statement by the firm, through this alliance, customers across over 140 Medplus stores in 19 states can now walk in and consult licensed doctors virtually, access genuine medications, and receive quick access to primary health care.
According to the statement, Medplus-Telehealth aims to enhance patient care by closing the gap between pharmacy visits and doctors’ follow-ups. The partnership is designed to deliver seamless, patient-centred healthcare by combining Medplus’s trusted pharmaceutical services with Mobihealth’s robust telemedicine platform.
A part of the statement says, “Key features include in-store telehealth hubs with private booths and diagnostic support for virtual doctor consultations, walk-in and virtual access to medical care, and e-prescriptions filled on-site or delivered to your doorstep.”
The firms noted that this initiative is impactful for busy urban dwellers and underserved populations who often face long wait times, high costs, or limited access to quality medical professionals.
Mrs Joke Bakare, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Medplus, said, “With over 140 stores across 19 states, we’re proud to be at the forefront of transforming pharmacy care in Nigeria. Our partnership with Mobihealth ensures that every Medplus store is not just a place to buy medicine but a gateway to timely, affordable, and trusted healthcare services.”
Similarly, Dr Funmi Adewara Founder and CEO of Mobihealth International added, “This collaboration is a major milestone in our mission to make healthcare accessible to all Nigerians. By embedding telehealth hubs in Medplus stores, we are offering people the power to consult a doctor anytime, anywhere, at an affordable rate, while ensuring genuine medication is always within reach.”
