Statistics show that over 60% of Nigeria’s rural population lacks access to functional primary healthcare centers; Nigeria has only 30 doctors per 100,000 people, with rural areas experiencing an even worse deficit, and less than 40% of rural women receive adequate antenatal care, leading to high rates of complications during childbirth.

Obviously, with Nigeria’s growing digital infrastructure, telemedicine has the potential to revolutionize healthcare delivery, making quality medical services more accessible to millions.

To this end, Africa’s leading telecommunications regulator, the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), is again showing the light with the commissioning of an e-Health Project at the State Specialist Hospital, Akure, Ondo State.

As Dr. Aminu Maida, the EVC of NCC puts it, “this attests to our collective efforts to harness the power of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) to improve and revolutionise the health sector in Nigeria in a manner that better serves citizens”.

“The completion of this e-Health Project is a testament to the Nigerian Communications Commission’s commitment to driving innovation, research, and growth in our nation’s digital economy. This is two-pronged.

“First, ICT can better integrate the health sector into the digital economy to enjoy the ubiquity that other sectors of the economy already benefit from.

“Secondly, healthy citizens contribute better to the digital economy even as they access care from e-health platforms. We thus enhance the quality of medical services and ensure that services are accessible to all, regardless of geographical location, by integrating advanced ICT solutions into healthcare”.

Maida expressed the hope that with its successful take-off, the project will further promote the Commission’s drive to speed up the adoption of ICT in the health sector.

“The implementation of e-health solutions will streamline medical processes, enhance patient care, and facilitate the efficient management of health records.

“With the State Specialist Hospital in Akure now equipped with innovative technology that enables healthcare professionals to deliver timely and accurate diagnoses, treatment plans, and follow-up care, we expect that these will improve patient satisfaction and positive health outcomes. This is because the benefits of this project go beyond the hospital walls to the larger community and set a precedent for other healthcare institutions nationwide”, he said.
