The Orius Medical story
Orius Medical is a pioneering mental health-focused social enterprise based in Nigeria, dedicated to revolutionizing the approach to mental wellness across Africa. With a mission to provide high-quality, accessible and culturally sensitive mental health services, Orius Medical offers a comprehensive range of programs, including teletherapy, mental health training, and custom wellness programs. We empower individuals and organizations to prioritize mental well-being for optimal productivity and sustainable development.
Founded in 2021, Orius Medical initially launched as a platform offering mental health counselling and emotional support to Nigerians. Our goal was to provide an alternative to Nigeria’s overwhelmed mental health care system and the Orius Medical website was launched to facilitate access to expert-led therapy sessions online and on-demand. In 2022, Orius Medical was formally incorporated (as Orius Medical Limited) with a mission to empower Africans for optimal wellness and productivity through innovative Teletherapy services, Psychological First Aid training, and tailored Wellness Programs that meet divers individual, organizational, and community needs. We envision an Africa where mental health is prioritized and mental health care is readily available, easily accessible, and always affordable, leading to healthier individuals, communities, and a thriving society.
Over the years, Orius Medical has grown to serve over 5,000 individuals from 15+ nations across Africa.
