How surgery in Abuja works
- 1
Tell us the operation
Or what your doctor has said, with any scan or test results you already have. A coordinator calls you back.
- 2
See the surgeon, by video or in person
A consultant in the right specialty examines you or reviews your case on a video call, explains whether you need an operation and which one, and what the alternatives are.
- 3
Tests in Abuja
Bloods, scans and the anaesthetic review the operation needs are arranged in Abuja. Results you already have are used rather than repeated where they are recent and good enough.
- 4
A written all-in price, before admission
What the operation covers, what it excludes and what it costs, in writing. You are told the hospital's name and address and your surgeon's name before you agree. Nothing is booked until you accept.
- 5
The operation, at our partner hospital in Maitama
On a date you agree. Day cases go home the same day; operations that need a stay are admitted for the nights your quote states.
- 6
Follow-up until you have healed
The reviews in your quote, with the surgeon, and a discharge summary for you and for the doctor who referred you, if one did.
Questions people ask
Can I have my operation in Abuja through Mezo?
Yes. Mezo arranges planned general surgery, gynaecology, orthopaedics and urology operations in Abuja, done at our partner hospital in Maitama, Abuja. You see the surgeon first, by video or in person, and you get a written price before you are admitted.
How much does surgery cost in Abuja?
It depends on the operation and on what the surgeon finds, so an Abuja operation is priced in a written all-in quote after the consultation and before admission. Where an operation has a published Lagos price, this page shows it for reference only. The Abuja price is the one in your quote, and it can differ from the Lagos price.
Which hospital will I be operated in?
At our partner hospital in Maitama, Abuja. You are told the hospital's name and address, and the name of your surgeon, before you agree to anything.
Can I have fibroid surgery in Abuja?
Yes. Fibroid removal (myomectomy) and hysterectomy are among the gynaecology operations done in Abuja. Whether keyhole or open surgery suits you depends on the number, size and position of the fibroids on your scan, and the surgeon goes through that with you before anything is booked.
Do I have to travel to Lagos?
No. The consultation can be by video or in person in Abuja, the tests are arranged in Abuja, and the operation is done in Abuja. If you would rather have the operation in Lagos, tell us and we will quote for that instead.
What if I have an HMO?
Tell us your HMO and plan when you ask for the quote. We will tell you whether your plan can be used for the operation in Abuja and what is left for you to pay, before anything is booked.
How do I choose where to have surgery in Abuja?
Ask four things of any hospital. Is the surgeon registered with the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria? Is the price written down, all-in, before admission? Who looks after you if there is a complication? And who sees you after you go home? Mezo answers all four in writing before you commit.
