I’m stepping into a space where two things I care deeply about meet: healthcare and technology.
As a pharmacist and digital health specialist in Nigeria, I’m interested in how innovation can make healthcare more accessible, efficient, and patient-centred across Africa.
Here’s something we don’t discuss enough in digital health:
Digitising a fragmented healthcare system doesn’t necessarily fix the fragmentation.
Sometimes, it simply makes the fragmentation digital.
We need to talk more about interoperability. #Digitalhealthweek2026
A study among doctors and nurses in Lagos general hospitals found that:
87% identified inconsistent electricity as a barrier to EMR use.
84.7% cited poor internet connectivity.
We want digital healthcare but can our infrastructure support it?
Innovation needs solid foundation
Me as a clinical pharmacist: can we please use technology to make our work easier, not give us more things to do? 😭😂
That’s one of the reasons I’m so interested in digital health.
2026 Nigeria HIV Prevention Conference: Building to Last! 🔴✨
We are excited to officially announce the 2026 Nigeria HIV Prevention Conference, hosted by Temitope Ilori Director General of the National Agency for the Control of AIDS (NACA).
Under the theme:
For healthcare professionals working in facilities with EMR systems: Does your digital system genuinely reduce paperwork, or do you still find yourself managing both digital and paper records?
#innovation#digitalhealth#healthtech
Are we adopting digital health because it solves real healthcare problems, or simply because technology is advancing?
For Nigeria and Africa, we need to look beyond innovation and ask: Does it work? Is it accessible? Does it improve patient care?
A digital health solution can be innovative, well-designed, and technically sound. But if healthcare professionals cannot integrate it into their workflow, or patients cannot access or navigate it easily, how much impact can it really make? #digitalhealth#innovation#digihealth
Imagine being able to consult a healthcare professional, access reliable health information, or receive follow-up care without always having to visit a hospital physically.
That’s part of the promise of digital health.
@VelvetBordello I think one major blocker is the gap between digital health solutions and the realities of healthcare delivery in Nigeria. Limited infrastructure, unreliable internet, inadequate training, and resistance to changing established workflows can all affect adoption.
The future of healthcare in Africa won’t be built by healthcare professionals alone. It will take collaboration with innovators, policymakers, and technology experts.
Are we ready to work together?
