Commissioned by the Honourable Minister of State for Health, Dr. Iziaq Adekunle Salako, the launch marks the fourth deployment of the eClinic solution in federal health institutions, following earlier rollouts in Osun, Ogun, and Edo States.

This milestone represents another significant step in the Federal Ministry of Health’s drive to modernise healthcare delivery through digital innovation, and builds on Interswitch’s commitment to healthcare innovation, following its recent partnership with the Lagos State Government on the Lagos Smart Health Information Platform (SHIP).

Built to streamline clinical workflows, enhance care coordination, and improve patient outcomes, Interswitch’s eClinic offers healthcare professionals real-time access to comprehensive and centralised patient records.

It also supports a broad range of hospital functions, including patient registration, diagnostics tracking, pharmacy management, and administrative reporting.

Designed with Nigeria’s healthcare infrastructure realities in mind, the platform operates in both online and offline modes, ensuring continuous uptime and uninterrupted service delivery.

The Minister of State for Health emphasised that the deployment of the EMR in Enugu aligns with the Ministry’s broader vision of modernising healthcare services and building a healthier Nigeria.

He noted that the Federal Government remains committed to fostering meaningful collaborations with the private sector to deliver measurable impact for Nigerians.

According to him, digital systems like the Interswitch’s eClinic enable federal hospitals to deliver more accurate, efficient, and patient-focused care.

By reducing administrative burdens, improving record-keeping, and supplying real-time data for planning and evaluation, these tools are empowering healthcare workers and strengthening service delivery across the board.

Speaking at the event, Babatunde Fadeyi, vice president, Health Ecosystem (Public Sector), Interswitch, reiterated the company’s commitment to innovation, strategic partnership, and improving health outcomes nationwide. He stated:

“Interswitch’s collaboration with key stakeholders, including government institutions, reflects our dedication to drive digital transformation across critical sectors such as healthcare. With eClinic, our EMR solution, we are empowering healthcare professionals to work more efficiently and deliver improved outcomes for patients across the country.”

Interswitch’s approach to deployment has been fuelled by deep stakeholder engagement and continuous learning. Each rollout is adapted to the specific needs of the host hospital, ensuring the solution is both technically sound, customisable, and user-friendly.

From needs assessments to user interface testing and staff training, healthcare workers have played an essential role in shaping the platform and providing feedback that has guided continuous improvements.

With the successful launch in Enugu, Interswitch is set to expand the eClinic platform to more federal and state health institutions nationwide.

Future enhancements will introduce AI-powered diagnostic support, health insurance integration, and improved supply chain visibility, all contributing to a more responsive, connected, and data-driven health ecosystem.

Through its strategic interventions and technology-driven solutions, Interswitch continues to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of healthcare in Nigeria, advancing digital inclusion, and setting new standards in health service delivery.

As Interswitch deepens its investment in health-tech innovation, the company is helping to shape a smarter, more inclusive healthcare future for Nigeria, one where digitalised systems drive quality, accessibility, and efficiency across all levels of care.

The event, themed “Expanding Access to Quality Healthcare: Transforming Nigeria through Innovation, Partnership, and Sustainability,” took place on February 27th and 28th, at the Oriental Hotel in Lagos, bringing together key stakeholders across the healthcare value chain, including policymakers, industry leaders, healthcare professionals, and technology innovators.

The event served as a platform for discussions on digital transformation in healthcare financing, the role of technology in improving service delivery, and strategic partnerships aimed at facilitating sustainable growth within the industry.
