Breaking Silos – Creating a Connected Health System in Nigeria

Opublikowany przez

Join us on March 11th for this session which is part of a series of webinars, organized by national member societies of the International Society for Telemedicine & eHealth. In this edition, the Society for Telemedicine and eHealth in Nigeria (SFTeHIN) will discuss the connected health system in Nigeria.

The session will highlight the prevailing fragmentation among digital health solutions currently operating in Nigeria. Many providers offer great solutions, including telemedicine platforms, Electronic Medical Records, AI-driven tools, and patient-generated health data systems such as wearables. However, these solutions largely operate in silos. The data collected across these platforms are not sufficiently integrated to enable continuity of care, population health analytics, or improved patient outcomes – whether in preventive health or curative service delivery.

This session will underscore the systemic challenges posed by this lack of interoperability and emphasize the importance of adopting interoperable standards as a strategic pathway toward building a connected health ecosystem that delivers better health outcomes in Nigeria.

A guest speaker will provide an overview of what the connected health system in Nigeria looks like, assess the current state of digital health interoperability, and identify key structural and policy barriers limiting effective integration.

A panel of experts from the private, public and non-profit sectors will share cross-cutting insights and propose practical, system-level solutions from their respective perspectives.

  • Opening: Dr. Adeolu Arogundade, President, SFTeHIN.
  • ISfTeH Welcome Address: Dr. Michele Griffith, President, ISfTeH.

Data and Digital Health Systems Impact Assessment Survey

Opublikowany przez

The Global Strategy on Digital Health Secretariat at the World Health Organization (WHO) invites professionals working in data and digital information systems for health to complete the Data and Digital Health Systems Impact Assessment Survey.

This rapid assessment aims to map and evaluate the effects of reduced financial and technical support to digital and data information systems to health systems, the health workforce, and patient populations, particularly in countries pursuing the Global Strategy on Digital Health.

Why This Matters

Recent shifts in donor priorities and funding reductions have placed critical digital health infrastructure, workforce capacity, and essential support systems at risk, affecting healthcare delivery in some of the world’s most vulnerable communities. Digital and data systems are foundational to health service delivery, decision-making, and patient care, and any disruption can have far-reaching consequences.

This brief, emergency survey is designed to capture the collective impact of these budget reductions on governments, development partners, civil society organizations, and others. The findings will help inform opportunities for a coordinated response through networks such as the Global Initiative on Digital Health to safeguard digital health systems and mitigate risks to data continuity, health services, and beneficiary populations.

Your Input is Critical

Your participation will help quantify the scale of impact and to inform urgent policy and funding discussions. WHO is committed to maintaining the confidentiality of all responses – data will be aggregated and anonymized to ensure privacy.
