Pecohub A new healthcare access initiative has been developed to serve the health demands of visitors and residents moving through Lagos for the ‘Detty December’ festivities.
The service, known as 07000HEALTH (432584), is a dedicated 24-hour medical hotline designed to connect the public to reliable, premium healthcare without the delays, confusion, or stress that typically accompany the December surge.
According to Akin Eso, Coordinator of 07000HEALTH, the goal is to create a seamless healthcare experience during one of the busiest periods in the city’s calendar.
“Lagos moves at an extraordinary intensity in December, and healthcare must move with it,” Eso said. “07000HEALTH was created to match the pace of Detty December by giving visitors and residents one easy, reliable number for immediate medical help. Whether someone needs an IV drip at 2 am, a doctor to visit their Airbnb, safe medication delivered to their hotel, or proper direction during an emergency, they can now access that support instantly. This is the first time healthcare access in Lagos has been organised end-to-end for December.”
Alongside the hotline, a new website, www.07000Health.com, has been launched to provide effortless digital access, allowing users to request assistance, book checkups, or learn more about available medical services with ease, whether from a hotel room, home, or during the busy nightlife movement.
The introduction of this system comes at a critical time. Every December, Lagos experiences a dramatic increase in tourist arrivals, returning diaspora, nightlife events, and citywide movement.
This heightened activity often results in increased medical needs, ranging from dehydration and fatigue to food-related illnesses, minor injuries, dental concerns, and true emergencies.
Many visitors also struggle to navigate the city’s healthcare network, especially during late hours or peak traffic situations.
07000HEALTH aims to remove these barriers by offering a single, trusted point of contact for coordinated medical support.
With one call or online request, individuals can be connected to clinical help for common health concerns, professional IV hydration and recovery drips, full medical checkups, urgent but non-emergency needs, and immediate guidance during emergencies.
The platform also provides access to dental treatment, eye care, diagnostic tests performed in hotels or homes, around-the-clock pharmacy delivery, and on-site visits by qualified doctors or nurses.
Unlike traditional emergency services, 07000HEALTH is designed to manage the wide range of medical concerns that fall between wellness and severe emergencies.
Many visitors and residents require help for manageable conditions such as exhaustion, flu symptoms, stomach disturbances, minor infections, or the effects of prolonged nightlife activity.
By providing access to home visits, diagnostics, and clinical assessments, the hotline helps ensure that medical needs are met quickly while reducing unnecessary visits to emergency rooms.
The newly introduced website enhances the service by offering a modern alternative for users who prefer digital navigation.
Through www.07000Health.com, individuals can browse available services, book appointments, and receive guidance without making a call—an important feature for international visitors with limited local call access.
Both the hotline and the website will operate continuously throughout December and beyond, ensuring that the influx of visitors and heightened city activity do not compromise access to high-quality medical care.
Eso urged hotels, event organisers, nightlife venues, and hospitality providers to share the hotline with their guests to guarantee medical support is always within reach.
