A consultant paediatrician sees your child at Haven Paediatrics, a children-only hospital in GRA, Ikeja with a laboratory and pharmacy on site. The visit is a proper examination and a diagnosis, not a guess: fever is tested before it is treated, and you leave knowing what to watch for. If your child needs a specialist, the paediatrician arranges it in the same building.

  • Growth or development that is worrying you

When it is not the right answer

Questions people ask

How much is a paediatrician consultation in Lagos?

From ₦50,000 for a first consultation with a consultant paediatrician at Haven Paediatrics, Ikeja. The fee is confirmed when you book, before you pay. Tests and medicines are priced separately.

Do I need a referral?

No. You can book directly.

Is every fever malaria?

No. Viral illness, urine infection, pneumonia and typhoid all cause fever. A test and an examination separate them, which is why we test before treating.

When should I see a specialist instead?

Start with the paediatrician unless you already have a diagnosis that needs a specialist, such as sickle cell, a heart murmur or seizures. The paediatrician refers within the same hospital when it helps.
