American companies and US rural communities in Texas, Indiana and Mississippi are adopting LaFiya TeleHealth Kiosk, a complete suite of medical devices and telehealth capabilities. With Lafiya Kiosk, you walk into a “clinic”, and you can speak with a doctor in any location with the Lafiya app. And if that doctor wants to take data, the kiosk-equipped ultrasound scanner, sensors, etc are there to help. It comes with solar support, and connected with a satellite which means it can be put anywhere.
Our playbook in Africa is to have the kiosks in many local governments, making it possible for citizens to have access to medical doctors, unbounded by geography. We will create thousands of jobs while doing great on healthcare. Rural America has responded and we are assembling for them.
Our technology is HIPAA compliant and designed with the best engineering practice in medical practice. Our bar is so high that we’ve started selling in America.

Comment: What happened to primary healthcare clinics in towns and villages?
The only difference is that ….”if the doctor wants to take data, the kiosk-equipped ultrasound scanner, sensors, etc are there to help”…..there is none in the health centres.
….”It comes with solar support, and connected with a satellite which means it can be put anywhere”…… can’t the village and towns primary health centre have that?
Nice project, but I am sorry to say that we must be sustainable, pragmatic, thorough and intentional in dealing with Nigerian problems. As far as health structure is concerned, this kiosk will not solve the problem. The systems in them could as well go into the health centres, and we continue to build from a substantive structures
My Response: Let me try and provide guidance here.
“What happened to primary healthcare clinics in towns and villages?” – the doctors have left for UK, Canada and US. Clinics are not buildings. They are centers of medical professionals. Lafiya telehealth will allow rural people to have access to doctors anywhere.
Unlike the empty primary centers, you have tools which will help the medical professionals collect data from patients, even remotely.
“….”It comes with solar support, and connected with a satellite which means it can be put anywhere”…… can’t the village and towns primary health centre have that?” – we are not aware that villages can provide internet connectivity. Having connectivity is the core of our solution.
We are looking for health entrepreneurs who will own these systems, making them available to people. The one in your Eke market day can cost each user say N500 and that person can speak with a doctor in Lagos. After all testing, the doctor puts a prescription which can be picked up in a local pharmacy.
“The systems in them could as well go into the health centres, and we continue to build from a substantive structures.” – we prefer market systems instead of sending them to people always on strikes.

I hope distinguish senators consider this for the teeming rural populace disconnected like my own hometown in Kwara where the only Cottage Hospital barely serves.
Senators, please listen and take action as noted by Mayowacn.
