AfyaRekod, a universal patient portal is working said it is working assiduously with National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA) to deliver a 4-day intensive training workshop to explore the role of integrated health data in delivering Universal Health Care in Nigeria.
In a statement signed by the country Head of the group, Mr Killian Mayua, said the aim of the Partnership and interactive workshop hosted by AfyaRekod was to explore the invaluable contribution AfyaRekod’s unique approach and data driven solutions can make to delivering Universal Healthcare plus the challenges in executing this integrated approach across its diverse mandate.
AfyaRekod is a patient-centered health data platform built on Al and Blockchain technology headquartered in Nairobi, Kenya with a presence in 5 African countries.
AfyaRekod’s mission is to bridge the gap between health care and treatment for health care facilities and institutions to access and assist their patients anywhere, anytime through tools and resources accessible on the platform.
NHIA was established in 2022 by the Federal government of Nigeria to promote, regulate and integrate health insurance schemes. It is expected to deliver UHC through mandatory health insurance.
NHIA will provide and maintain Digital infrastructure to integrate all data on health schemes in Nigeria.
Dr Sikiru Salaudeen, National Health Insurance Authority (Ag. GM) said. “In Abuja, most of the big hospitals now depend on the digital storage of patient health information and digital operations within the hospitals from the moment a patient walks into the hospital.
The training we have gotten from AlyaRekod will prove immensely helpful as we move forward in using technology to achieve universal healthcare.”
“We are excited to host our guests from NHIA and Jiwaga for a free workshop on digitisation of health care. This contributes to our overall mission: an Africa where quality healthcare is accessible to all.” Rick Ashley, Commercial Advisor AfyaRekod.
