The app allows access to healthcare services from anywhere, at any time, without having to travel to a physical location.

From virtual consultations with doctors to medication reminders, the CloudClinic app offers a wide range of convenient specialist and general practice healthcare services that can be accessed with just a few taps on a smartphone or tablet.

According to the National Primary Healthcare Development Agency (NPHCDA), about six out of ten Nigerians lack access to quality primary healthcare services, a situation that is worsening disease outbreaks and healthcare delivery.

CloudClinic bridges the gap by providing a platform that orchestrates quality, seamless, affordable, and accessible healthcare solutions.

Below are seven ways the CloudClinic app is bringing healthcare to the doorstep of Nigerians:

1. Convenience

One of the biggest reasons why people use e-health apps is convenience. With e-health apps, people can access healthcare services from anywhere, at any time, without having to travel to a physical location.

This is particularly helpful for people who live in remote areas, have mobility issues or have busy schedules.

2. Access to a wider range of healthcare services

CloudClinic offers an extensive feature that gives patients a wide range of diagnostic and pharmaceutical options, relying on its partnership with licensed and recognized medical laboratories and pharmacies while ensuring the confidentiality of all medical records.

3. Cost savings

E-health apps can be more cost-effective than traditional healthcare services, especially for people who do not have health insurance.

With e-health apps, people can avoid the cost of travel, parking, and other expenses associated with visiting a physical healthcare facility.

4. Improved communication with healthcare providers

CloudClinic is driving access to healthcare through its native language feature which matches patients with doctors based on their preferred native languages, ensuring effective communication.

The app offers improved communication with healthcare providers, including sending and receiving messages, scheduling appointments, and receiving test results. This can help people stay on top of their health and manage chronic conditions more effectively.

5. Personalized healthcare:

CloudClinic, through its partners offers personalized healthcare services based on individual health needs and preferences

6. Better health outcomes:

By providing access to healthcare services and resources, e-health apps like CloudClinic can help people manage chronic conditions more effectively, stay on top of preventive care, and make better decisions about their health.

7. 24/7 Support:

Patients can get help and find answers to questions and enquiries in real time with a round-the-clock support team.

CloudClinic connects different players in the health industry by providing a solution that works for doctors, patients, and health facilities alike. New users can register on CloudClinic as a patient or doctor, by downloading the “My CloudClinic”  app from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store or by visiting the website.

The platform makes it possible for anyone to access affordable health care from the comfort of their homes, offices or on the go with the aid of their internet-enabled devices.

“We are delighted to introduce CloudClinic, a suite of mobile platform, web and API services specially designed to seamlessly connect healthcare seekers in Nigeria to licensed healthcare services providers such as doctors, hospitals, pharmacies and medical laboratories,” said Ifeanyi Aneke, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Cloud Clinic Limited, at the formal unveiling of the product in Lagos.

Aneke said CloudClinic was motivated by a burning desire to bring quality and affordable healthcare to the ‘doorstep’ of every Nigerian.

“We believe that healthcare should be convenient and accessible to every Nigerian. This belief birthed the development of our cloud-based healthcare platform,” he said.

Partnering with over a thousand licensed medical laboratories, pharmacies, and hospitals across Nigeria, CloudClinic is designed to improve access to healthcare while making it convenient.

Aneke stated that CloudClinic is also liberalising access to healthcare through its native language feature, which matches patients with doctors, based on their preferred native languages, ensuring effective communication, and understanding.

Commenting further, he stated that the platform ensures strict adherence to optimal health standards for patients, offering a complete and world-class healthcare experience.

“CloudClinic offers an extensive feature that gives patients a wide range of diagnostic, pharmaceutical, and hospital options, relying on our partnership with licensed and recognized medical laboratories and pharmacies while ensuring the confidentiality of all medical records,” Aneke said.

Also speaking at the launch, Dr Amy Ojiakor, Clinical Director, Cloud Clinic Limited, highlighted that Nigeria has a 1 to 10,000 doctor-to-patient ratio. She noted that an average Nigerian must drive long hours to get to a hospital and queue up for hours to see a doctor, adding that because of this limitation, Nigerian hospitals are plagued with many incidents of late presentation, which leads to a high mortality rate.

“Through CloudClinic, a doctor can request an investigation or prescribe a drug for the patient. The solution also makes it possible for a patient to quickly locate a Medical Laboratory Pharmacy and Hospital nearest to him or her,” she said.

According to her, CloudClinic also makes it possible for patients to have their samples collected in their homes and their drugs delivered to them when the patient cannot go out or do not want to go to the medical laboratories or pharmacies.

Also commenting, Flourish Nnamdi, Product Manager, Cloud Clinic Limited, commented that the product is user-friendly and backed by 24-hour, seven days a week support. He called on stakeholders in the health sector to register on CloudClinic as a patient or doctor by downloading the app from the App Store, Google Play Store or by visiting the website.

Cloud Clinic Limited is also inviting Licensed Medical Laboratories, Pharmacies and Hospital interested in partnering with them.
