The Orius Medical story

Orius Medical is a pioneering mental health social enterprise in Nigeria, with a vision of an Africa where mental well-being is prioritised and mental health care is readily available, easily accessible, and always affordable.

We first launched in 2021 as a mental health counselling and emotional support platform. Our goal was to provide an alternative to Nigeria’s overwhelmed mental health care system and the Orius website was launched to facilitate access to online-based therapy.

In 2022, Orius was formally incorporated (as Orius Medical Limited) with the objective of empowering Africans for optimal wellness and productivity through innovative mental well-being solutions. Today, we provide teletherapy services and facilitate expert-led mental well-being training for African businesses and individuals. Our rationale is that if 1 in 4 Africans has essential knowledge of mental health first aid, then more people can easily get immediate (non-clinical) support from their friends, family, or colleagues, without fear of stigma or financial strain while simultaneously relieving the burden on the continent’s overwhelmed mental health care systems.

We have supported over 5,000 individuals and counting, providing much needed mental health care and equipping them with critical knowledge about mental well-being to help them navigate their journey to optimal wellness and productivity.

Orius Medical is on a mission ‘to empower Africans for optimal wellness and productivity via teletherapy and mental health training’.
