# The 38 largest healthcare providers in Nigeria

Tamtam tracks 38 healthcare providers headquartered in Nigeria. This list ranks all of them by number of employees on LinkedIn, led by Ahmadu Bello University, Federal Medical Centre Abeokuta and National Hospital Abuja. Their median headcount is 491. Half of them were founded in 1999 or later. The most common headquarters are Abuja (7) and Lagos (5).

The companies listed are primarily large public and private healthcare providers in Nigeria, including hospitals and universities with medical faculties. Federal Medical Centre Abeokuta, founded in 1993, specializes in medical services. National Hospital Abuja, established in 1999, provides healthcare for women, children, and men. Lagoon Hospitals is a network offering advanced medical care, and Medplus Pharmacy Limited, also founded in 1993, provides wholesale and retail pharmacy services.

A notable pattern is the strong presence of teaching hospitals affiliated with universities, such as University of Benin Teaching Hospital and University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital Ituku-Ozalla, Enugu State. This indicates a focus on both healthcare provision and medical education across Nigeria.

## How this list is built

Every company on this list has a Tamtam company profile. The industry is the one the company gives on LinkedIn; categories such as SaaS or fintech are classified by Tamtam's AI from the company's website and LinkedIn page; and the headquarters city must match the company's own address. Companies are ranked by the number of employees on LinkedIn, and the list is refreshed every night. Classifications can be wrong, so treat the list as a starting point rather than an official ranking. Last updated Nov 13, 2026.
