Commissioned by the Honourable Minister of State for Health, Dr. Iziaq Adekunle Salako, this launch marks the fourth deployment of the eClinic solution in federal health institutions, following successful rollouts in Osun, Ogun, and Edo States.
This milestone underscores a significant stride in the Federal Ministry of Health’s agenda to modernise healthcare delivery through digital innovation and reflects Interswitch’s broader commitment to transformative healthcare solutions—coming on the heels of its recent partnership with the Lagos State Government on the Lagos Smart Health Information Platform (SHIP).
Purpose-built to streamline clinical workflows, enhance care coordination, and improve patient outcomes, Interswitch’s eClinic gives healthcare professionals real-time access to comprehensive and centralised patient records. It supports a wide range of hospital operations, including patient registration, diagnostics tracking, pharmacy management, and administrative reporting. The platform is designed to operate in both online and offline modes, ensuring continuous uptime and uninterrupted service delivery across varying infrastructure environments.
In his remarks, the Minister of State for Health highlighted that the deployment of EMR technology in Enugu aligns with the Ministry’s broader vision of building a healthier Nigeria through the adoption of modern, efficient, and patient-centred healthcare systems. He reaffirmed the Federal Government’s commitment to partnering with the private sector to drive meaningful improvements in healthcare delivery.
“Digital systems like Interswitch’s eClinic enable federal hospitals to provide more accurate, efficient, and patient-focused care. By reducing administrative burdens, improving record-keeping, and offering real-time data for planning and evaluation, these tools empower healthcare professionals and enhance service delivery,” Dr. Salako said.
Also speaking at the event, Babatunde Fadeyi, Vice President, Health Ecosystem (Public Sector), Interswitch, reiterated the company’s dedication to innovation, strategic partnerships, and improved health outcomes across Nigeria. He stated: “Interswitch’s collaboration with key stakeholders, including government institutions, reflects our unwavering commitment to driving digital transformation in critical sectors such as healthcare. With eClinic, our EMR solution, we are empowering healthcare professionals to work more efficiently and deliver improved outcomes for patients across the country.”
Interswitch’s deployment model emphasizes deep stakeholder engagement and continuous improvement. Each implementation is tailored to the unique needs of the host institution, ensuring the solution is technically robust, customisable, and user-friendly. From needs assessments and interface testing to comprehensive staff training, healthcare workers have been actively involved in shaping the platform and refining its features.
Following the successful launch in Enugu, Interswitch plans to extend the eClinic platform to additional federal and state health institutions nationwide. Future updates will include AI-powered diagnostic support, health insurance integration, and enhanced supply chain visibility—further contributing to a connected, responsive, and data-driven healthcare ecosystem.
Through strategic interventions and cutting-edge technology, Interswitch continues to play a pivotal role in redefining the future of healthcare in Nigeria—advancing digital inclusion and setting new standards in service delivery.
By deepening its investments in health-tech innovation, Interswitch is championing a smarter, more inclusive healthcare future—one where digital systems underpin quality, accessibility, and efficiency across all levels of care.
