The Nigerian Communication Commission (NCC) has donated and inaugurated an E-Health Solution to a specialist Hospital owned by the Ondo state government, to reduce queues at the hospital.
Executive Vice Chair/Chief Executive Officer of NCC, Dr Aminu Maida, during the inauguration, said the facility would help in revolutionizing healthcare services in the hospital.
He added that the initiative was part of the commission’s efforts to harnessing the power of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) to improve the sector in a manner that better serves citizens.
Maida, represented by the Project Director of NCC, Philip Eretan, said the commission deployed technology to make healthcare services more accessible, efficient and effective.
“Completion of this e-Health Project is a testament to NCC’s commitment to driving innovation, research, and growth in our 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 benefit from.
“Secondly, healthy citizens contribute better to the digital economy even as they access care from e-health platforms.
“We enhance the quality of medical services and ensure that services are accessible to all.
“Implementation of e-health solutions will streamline medical processes, enhance patient care, and facilitate efficient use of health records”
Dr Ndiddi Okunnugba, Akintan who was represented by the Director of Research and Training, stated that the project would enable the health facility to offer improved healthcare through proper data analysis.
He further appealed to the NCC management to train staff of the hospital to ensure effectiveness of the project, as it will help doctors and healthcare workers share
data, track patient progress, and coordinate better care.
