Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon

Consultant-led assessment and international surgical expertise, now based in Nigeria.

Background & Credentials

Dr. Bolarinwa Akinola’s medical journey began at the University of Ibadan (MBBS), Nigeria’s premier medical school. This local foundation is the bedrock of his practice, ensuring a deep understanding of the unique healthcare needs of Nigerian patients. By blending this local insight with nearly a decade of high-level surgical training in the United Kingdom and South Africa, he provides a standard of orthopaedic care that eliminates the need for patients to travel abroad for complex procedures.

Decoding the Credentials: FRCS, MPH, MBBS

  • MBBS (Ibadan) A renowned Nigerian medical foundation.
  • FRCS (Tr. & Orth.) This is a Fellowship of the Royal College of Surgeons (Edinburgh). It is the global "gold standard" in surgery. In Nigeria, it means you are being treated by a consultant who has passed the same rigorous examinations and peer-reviews as the top surgeons in the UK.
  • MPH (London) A Masters in Public Health from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. This allows Dr. Akinola to look beyond the surgery and manage patient care within the broader context of the Nigerian healthcare system, focusing on safety and long-term outcomes.

Care Philosophy:
Conservative First

"I believe surgery should be the final step, not the first. Every treatment plan begins with a thorough, evidence-based assessment to explore non-surgical options."

When surgery is required, I utilize advanced techniques to ensure faster recovery and lasting results.
