NT Health Consulting was founded by Dr. Seleipiri Iboroma Akobo, a physician executive whose career reflects an uncommon integration of frontline clinical medicine, healthcare operations leadership, medical-legal expertise, and advanced training in public health, business administration, and artificial intelligence. As an actively practicing physician with executive leadership experience, Dr. Akobo brings practical insight informed by direct patient care, utilization management oversight, clinical documentation integrity advisory, addiction medicine training, and regional medical directorship responsibilities.
Our firm was established to provide attorneys, healthcare organizations, insurers, and regulatory entities with credible physician-led advisory grounded in current clinical standards and operational realities. Dr. Akobo’s experience spans hospital medicine, peer review, payer-provider relations, healthcare compliance, and evidence-based medical analysis — allowing NT Health Consulting to evaluate complex matters through both a clinical and systems-level lens. This dual perspective is particularly valuable in cases involving institutional decision-making, standard-of-care analysis, utilization disputes, patient safety concerns, and healthcare governance.
