MHF Medical Concierge, the first African owned and central London based healthcare facility prides itself in providing bespoke assistance for high net-worth African individuals to receive medical attention anywhere in the world. Speaking in an exclusive interview with EduTimes Africa, the Medical Director and founder of the United Kingdom based premium healthcare facility, Dr Taiwo Olatunji, went on to say this. “We have a call Centre that clients can reach 24-7 and we are able to facilitate care in the UK or anywhere in the world using our extensive network of reputable medical professionals from the US to Germany to Israel.”
A joint venture with Medical Diagnosis, one of the largest private laboratory providers in the UK has also positioned MHF to provide an end-to-end service with in-house pathology testing, imaging and special medical consultation for its clients. Its capacity to provide multiple solutions under one roof, further enhancing its already superb service, endears MHF to its numerous elite international clients, the majority of whom expect nothing less. This is not to say that high expectations of clientele is anything unusual to MHF Medical Concierge. Led by Harley Street
trained Dr Olatunji, where royalty, international celebrities and heads of some of the world’s leading multinational organisations were counted amongst the regular clientele, such elevated standards have long been the norm for Dr Olatunji too. Elaborating on this he said,
“Working in Harley Street was an eye opening experience. I realised how much of a monopoly on private practice Harley street has and how people flocked to this area of London renowned for decades for medical excellence because it was easy to access care, irrespective of the medical specialty you seek. I developed my concierge practice from there treating Kings, Queens and ultra-high-net-worth individuals who demand a very high level of care. You can say this level of service provision rubbed off on me well.” Continuing, the former Astrazeneca and Merck Sharp and Dohme executive said, “we take pride in the calibre of doctors that work at MHF. Due to the concierge nature of the work that we do, we make it a priority that all our doctors are well accomplished in their field and even more importantly, they have excellent bedside manners and understand the specific requirements of patients seeking medical tourism.”
For over ten years, MHF Medical Concierge has remained the go-to healthcare facility for the African elite, many of whom London has traditionally been a second home. The summer vacation provides a perfect opportunity for the entire family to carry out their annual full medical checkups.
Asked if he thinks being an African doctor is something his clients consider a plus, MHF’s CEO had this to say. “The knowledge that the doctor they are consulting understands the nuances of their language, their cultural norms and even their nonverbal cues during consultation all make Nigerian and dare I say black patients feel at home, open up and allow an honest non-judgmental conversation to take place. This happened only recently when a patient came to see me regarding a second opinion about his prostate cancer diagnosis. He was dissatisfied with the explanation given to him regarding the side effect of prostate surgery, in particular potential loss of erection and urinary incontinence. He felt more comfortable discussing his fears openly with me, allowing me to allay his concerns and helping him understand why the risks he was warned about must be discussed even if they are unlikely to happen with more advanced treatment modalities.”
From the onset, Dr Taiwo Olatunji set his mind on providing the very best of healthcare services for his fellow Africans and till date, excellence remains his watchword. With his outstanding outfit, MHF Medical Concierge, he is just one of the many diaspora Nigerians doing great things and indeed doing the African continent proud.
Dr Taiwo Olatunji is an experienced British trained General Physician with experience in Acute Medicine, Emergency Medicine, and General Surgery including ENT. He brings a wealth of experience from previous roles in Business and NHS practice. He is the founder of MHF Medical Concierge, the first Afro-centric bespoke private healthcare service providing unrivaled client experience and solution-driven medical practice.
