As Nigeria continues to grapple with the strain of limited healthcare infrastructure and high out-of-pocket medical costs, experts are turning attention to self-care as a sustainable solution for improving public health outcomes.
This focus will headline the second edition of the D’Bio Wellness & Selfcare Summit, taking place on September 24–25, 2025, at the Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI) Conference & Exhibition Centre, Alausa, Ikeja.
Themed “Self-Care as a Driver of Optimal Health and Wellness,” the summit will bring together stakeholders in health, business, and innovation to discuss how lifestyle changes, preventive care, and wellness practices can reduce the country’s disease burden.
Dr. Fidelis Akhagboso Ayebae, Chairman of Fidson Healthcare Plc, will chair the event, while Dr. Victor ’Gbenga Afolabi, CEO of Hazon Holdings and Co-Founder of Wellness HMO, is billed to deliver the keynote address. Both leaders are renowned for their contributions to advancing healthcare and entrepreneurship in Nigeria.
Convener of the summit, Dr. Monica Hemben Eimunjeze, explained that the platform is designed to inspire change and empower individuals to take responsibility for their well-being. “This summit goes beyond dialogue; it is about equipping Nigerians with practical knowledge that can transform lives and communities,” she said.
Sessions will feature expert panel discussions, case studies, and interactive engagements aimed at strengthening health literacy and promoting wellness culture. Attendance is open to professionals, advocates, and members of the public interested in innovative approaches to health management.
Organizers expressed optimism that outcomes from the summit will stimulate fresh partnerships and reinforce the role of self-care in achieving healthier, more resilient communities across Nigeria.
