Nigeria Needs A Healthcare Sector, NOT Sickcare
Quote from Ndubuisi Ekekwe on February 2, 2019, 11:04 AMAs the political campaigns ramp up, I am yet to hear how the politicians will transform Nigeria's sick-care sector into a healthcare sector. Yes, unfortunately, what we have is a sick-care, not healthcare. Our processes are relatively expensive, bureaucratic, redundant, reactive, and retrospective, creating paralysis in the wellbeing of the nation.
At Medcera, our vision is that Nigeria can do evidence-based care where we manage health and not sickness.
A healthy nation is a wealthy one - we need to redesign how we manage health, not sickness in Nigeria.
