Around the turn of the 20th century, Dr Charlie and Dr Will Mayo organized medical professionals in a new way to better care for patients. They created a system that allowed doctors to take the time to thoroughly investigate patient problems and to quickly and easily get help from other specialists. The system was built on the idea that two heads are better than one and five are even better. It also encouraged a continual search for better ways of diagnosis and treatment. Patients flocked to the Mayos because of their ability to find answers to their problems. Doctors, too, came to observe and learn at "the Mayo's clinic." Through growth and change, Mayo remains committed to its heritage: thorough diagnosis, accurate answers and effective treatment through the application of collective wisdom to the problems of each patient". We at Shawsand Medical Centre have chosen to adopt this model of patient care in Nigeria in our areas of focus, utilizing the state of the art equipment in our facility and local, national and international expertise that is available to provide solutions to our patients' problems.
