The Kano State Government has signed a landmark agreement with eHealth Africa and the state’s Ministries of Health, Science, and Technology to fully digitise the state's healthcare system.
The deal aims to modernise healthcare delivery, improve disease surveillance, and enhance technological infrastructure across the region.
“This partnership represents a transformative step toward building a more connected, responsive, and resilient health ecosystem in Nigeria,” said Atef Fawaz, Executive Director of eHealth Africa, at the signing ceremony.
The tripartite agreement focuses on several key areas, including the introduction of Electronic Medical Records (EMR) to replace outdated paper-based systems, digitisation of hospital and pharmaceutical inventory management, and the development of advanced data systems for real-time disease surveillance and response.
