In today’s fast-moving African economy, employee well-being has become a powerful driver of productivity, resilience, and organizational success. Leading this transformation is Citron Health, a forward-thinking healthcare company that goes beyond the clinic to reshape how organizations care for their workforce.
Formerly known as Ambulance Nigeria, Citron Health is on a mission to build healthier, safer work environments through customized occupational and pre-hospital care solutions. With Dr. Fikun Orafidiya as CEO and Dr. Emmanuel Olowookere as COO, the company brings medical expertise and operational scale to workplace wellness across Nigeria, with active operations in over 30 states and expansion into other African countries.
Rather than offering generic healthcare services, Citron Health provides a robust, end-to-end workforce wellness system. This includes fitness-to-work, emergency response services, onsite clinic setup, workforce health training, supply chain and procurement support, and occupational health advisory. Their services are designed to align with international standards while remaining adaptable and cost-effective within the African context.
Some of the company’s most impactful services include pre-employment and annual medicals, drug & alcohol testing, and OEUK-certified assessments, particularly important for high-risk industries like oil and gas. Citron Health also manages onsite clinics with trained staff and links to referral hospitals, ensuring continuous care without disrupting work schedules. Their emergency response network is equipped with land and air ambulances, and even powerbike units for faster urban access.
Training is another key pillar of their approach. Citron Health runs certified programs in emergency care, mental health first aid, fire safety, and HSE compliance, giving organizations the internal capability to manage health and safety proactively.
Additionally, their medical logistics arm manages the procurement of pharmaceuticals, PPE, and ambulances, working only with trusted global manufacturers.
Beyond physical health, Citron Health addresses deeper wellness issues like ergonomics, stress management, and telemedicine support, allowing employees to thrive in high-pressure environments. These comprehensive services are seamlessly accessible through Syren by Citron Health, the company’s innovative web application that streamlines workforce wellness management.
The impact of Citron Health’s work can be seen in real numbers and trusted partnerships. With over 100,000 lives impacted across their operations, recent successes include managing comprehensive occupational health program for financial institutions such as First Bank, Keystone Bank, and Ecobank beginning with pre-employment medicals across Nigeria.
As the designated occupational health partner for the Italian Embassy and emergency medical support provider for the British Consulate, the company demonstrates its ability to meet international diplomatic standards while maintaining deep local expertise.
