WHX Lagos, formerly Medic West Africa, is held at the Landmark Centre on Victoria Island in Lagos, Nigeria, with the 2027 edition scheduled for June. It is a leading healthcare and medical trade exhibition for West Africa, covering medical equipment, diagnostics, hospital supplies, laboratory products and healthcare services, and it draws manufacturers, distributors, clinicians, hospital administrators and buyers from Nigeria and the wider region. The show fills the Landmark Centre's exhibition space and attracts a strong regional trade audience over its run, alongside a conference programme for healthcare professionals. Because the Landmark Centre sits in the busy Victoria Island business district and Lagos has a limited concentration of international-standard hotels, rooms on and around Victoria Island and neighbouring Ikoyi book out early, and near-venue rates rise as the opening approaches. Booking accommodation ahead keeps commuting short in a city known for heavy traffic, protects a full schedule of meetings, and avoids long, unpredictable journeys across the lagoon bridges. Event Escapes shows live, bookable hotel rates around the Landmark Centre, sorted by real distance from the venue so you can compare genuine proximity rather than relying on broad area descriptions.
