Telemedicine And e-Health Offer Improved Healthcare Services in Nigeria

The 4th Nigerian conference on Telemedicine and e-Health took place recently in Gombe. The conference noted that in order to achieve the targets of the Millennium Development Goals (MDG), there is a need to increase the adoption of Telemedicine and e-Health as major solutions for improving healthcare services in the country, especially for rural regions that do not have accessibility or affordability to healthcare services. The conference confirmed that both Telemedicine and e-Health are having the potential to enhance the quality and accessibility to healthcare services in Nigeria.
