Quality Care is Ours and Your Priority

Welcome to Our Multi–Specialist 24/7 Cardiovascular Facility
LECC is a multidisciplinary cardiovascular and cardiac rehabilitation 24/7 facility focused on the treatment and management of cardiovascular diseases and trigger diseases using both invasive and non-invasive procedures, as well as preventive cardiology.
Our skilled and experienced cardiologists, vascular and cardiothoracic surgeons, electrophysiologists, interventional cardiologists and support staff are committed to the treatment and prevention of heart diseases through innovative, state-of-the-art technology.
Furthermore, it is nearly impossible to treat heart conditions and/or trigger factors such as diabetes without screening, treating, and managing other areas of the body that are connected to the heart.
Consequently, our support staff have a wealth of expertise in several branches of related cardiovascular medicine such as stroke care, vascular surgery, obstructive sleep apnea, endocrinology and diabetology, pulmonary and respiratory medicine, in order to provide high quality, individualised care for patients in one place.
We are dedicated to continuously improving the safety and quality of care we provide while maintaining a high level of quality and compliance with the latest standards.
Round-the-clock care
LECC is Nigeria’s first heart centre to offer 24/7 cardiology coverage. Our trained primary care physicians/GPs are also available 24/7. Our Adult and Interventional Paediatric Cardiologists provide consultation to the hospitalists, perform diagnostic testing and services, perform cardioversions, and place temporary and permanent pacemakers.
LECC was established in 2016 by Dr. Folasade Alli, a consultant cardiologist with over 30 years of experience and Ms. Lola Alli, a health economist; and commenced its operations in 2017 as a provider of integrated cardiovascular healthcare services.
