eClinic: Digitisation And Nigeria’s Healthcare System

With the complexity surrounding Nigeria’s healthcare system today, keeping medical records in a safe and secured place where it can be easily accessed remains a top priority.

Whether one is using a digitalised record-keeping system, or old-fashioned files, the safety of one’s medical history is very important.

Regardless, digitalised systems for medical records have many advantages over a manual filing system. Digital systems ensure that incidences such as exposure of a patient’s medical record to third parties are brought to a minimum.

 

This enhances the doctor-patient trust, driving efficiency in the medical field in the country.
