The Federal Government of Nigeria has emphasized that the future of the country’s healthcare system depends heavily on the adoption and integration of digital innovation. According to government officials, embracing digital health technologies is essential for addressing longstanding challenges in healthcare delivery, including poor access to quality care, inadequate infrastructure, and workforce shortages. By leveraging tools such as telemedicine, electronic medical records, data analytics, and mobile health platforms, the government aims to improve service efficiency, enhance disease surveillance, and expand healthcare access, particularly in rural and underserved areas.
The FG noted that digital transformation would also support better health outcomes through real-time data collection and improved decision-making. Collaboration between public and private sectors, as well as investment in digital infrastructure and capacity building, were highlighted as key strategies to successfully implement these innovations. The government reiterated its commitment to creating policies and frameworks that support the growth of digital health solutions while ensuring data privacy and security. Ultimately, the FG believes that digital innovation will be a critical driver in achieving universal health coverage and building a resilient healthcare system for the future. The call is now for stakeholders to support this vision and work together to modernize Nigeria’s health sector.
