OneHealth Advances Medical Weight Management with The Method

Nigeria's OneHealth, a digital-first pharmacy and healthcare platform, is expanding its services with The Method, the nation's inaugural medically guided GLP-1 weight-loss program. The program tackles a prevalent issue in Nigeria: one in four urban adults is overweight or obese, yet many who wish to manage their weight resort to unregulated supplements, fad diets, and misleading information.

While GLP-1 medications are becoming more accessible in Nigeria, they are often unmonitored and misused. During a recent seminar, OneHealth's CEO Adeola Alli stressed that weight management should be viewed as a long-term health issue, not a fleeting problem. The Method aims to bridge the gap by providing medical screening, consultation, diagnosis, and GLP-1 medication prescription, all within a controlled environment.

Patients who qualify are given tirzepatide (Mounjaro®) or semaglutide (Ozempic® or Wegovy®), dispensed through OneHealth's pharmacy network. The program offers continuous medical and pharmacist supervision, personalized health guidance, and medication delivery to the patient's home. It also includes access to a gym, structured progress tracking, and regular assessments to ensure the treatment's effectiveness.

Each patient follows a tailored care plan, with monthly subscriptions and corporate options available. OneHealth's CEO emphasized that The Method is more than just a medication dispensary; it's a comprehensive healthcare program that combines medication, professional guidance, lifestyle coaching, and long-term support.
