The journey began with the registration of Medicare Clinics by the Ogun State Ministry of Health as a private hospital.
Operating from a rented apartment at 105 Idiroko road, the hospital pioneered, in that early stage, provision of in-house specialist clinics and ultrasound scan services in the Ota community.
The movement of the hospital in 1995 to its owner-occupied facility located at kilometre 4 Idiroko road witnessed the upgrade of services to include X-ray, renal dialysis, CT scan, mammography and additional specialist clinics.
In a bid to expand its frontier, the hospital signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the reputable health institution in India, Artemis Hospital in October 2009. This was soon followed by the first international medical conference co-organised by Ace Medicare Clinics Limited and Artemis Hospital in December 2009. On this platform, eighteen (18) of such conferences have been executed, providing Continuing Medical Education (CME) to doctors and other health professionals. The program has featured renowned resource persons from US, UK, India, South Africa and local reputable institutions and individuals.
When the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria (MDCN) made CME mandatory for Nigerian doctors in 2011, Ace Medicare Clinics Limited was one of the first few private institutions in the country accredited as Continuing Professional Development (CPD) providers. By this time, the hospital already had a robust platform for delivering CME units at no cost to the doctors.
Since the first accreditation by the National Postgraduate Medical College of Nigeria in 2008 as a training centre for Family Medicine, the hospital has provided tutelage for almost 50 Family Medicine residents from Teaching Hospitals, Federal Medical Centres and General Hospitals across the Southwest Nigeria. Apart from paying upkeep allowances to the residents, they are also exposed to a 12-week course in Management. The hospital recently sponsored an Update Course organised by the Faculty of Family Medicine of the Postgraduate Medical College of Nigeria.
The hospital has hosted a number of residents, medical students and nurses on elective postings from US, Canada, UK, Russia and Ukraine. Under the AfriWon Renaissance project of WONCA Africa, two young Family physicians from Turkey and France visited the hospital for observership in February 2019. We also played host to a delegation of Association of Nigerian Physicians in the Americas (ANPA) in 2018.
The current hospital project commenced in 2012 with initial support from First City Monument Bank (FCMB), and later Bank of Industry (BoI). With a vision to be a medical centre of excellence, our goal is to render primary, secondary and tertiary services, and through the latter reduce the outflow of patients seeking medical treatment beyond the country.

The services rendered at the initial phase included outpatient and inpatient facilities, surgery, maternity services, infant welfare clinic.
With the movement of the hospital to its present location at kilometre 4 Idi-Iroko road, more services like x-ray, ultrasound scanning and ECG were added.
The hospital is currently accredited by the Faculty of Family Medicine of the National Postgraduate Medical College of Nigeria to train residents in Part II of Family Medicine.
