Cloud Clinic Limited (CCL), which provides digital healthcare services, has introduced a cloud-based healthcare solution that allows for virtual consultations between patients and licensed medical practitioners.
During the unveiling in Lagos on Monday, CCL’s founder, Mr Ifeanyi Aneke stated that the goal of CloudClinic is to provide quality and affordable healthcare services to every Nigerian, regardless of their location, through this innovative solution.
According to him, the platform makes it possible for anyone to access affordable healthcare from the comfort of their homes, offices, or on the go with the aid of their internet-enabled devices.
“We are delighted to introduce CloudClinic, a suite of mobile platform, web, and API services specially designed to seamlessly connect healthcare seekers in Nigeria to licensed healthcare services providers such as doctors, hospitals, pharmacies, and medical laboratories.
“We believe that healthcare should be convenient and accessible to every Nigerian. This belief birthed the development of our cloud-based healthcare platform”, he said.
Aneke said the platform has partnered with over 1,000 licensed medical laboratories, pharmacies, and hospitals across the country in its effort to improve access to timely and convenient healthcare services.
He said that CloudClinic was also liberalising access to healthcare through its native language feature, which matches patients with doctors, based on their preferred native languages to ensure effective communication.
Aneke said that the platform would ensure strict adherence to optimal and global healthcare standards for patients.
“CloudClinic offers an extensive feature that gives patients a wide range of diagnostic, pharmaceutical, and hospital options, relying on our partnership with licensed and recognized medical laboratories and pharmacies while ensuring the confidentiality of all medical records”, Aneke said.
Also, Clinical Director at Cloud Clinic Limited, Dr Amy Ojiakor said that Nigeria has a one to 10,000 doctor-to-patient ratio.
Ojiakor noted that an average Nigerian must drive long hours to get to a hospital and queue for hours to see a doctor.
She said that due to this limitation, hospitals were plagued with many incidents of late presentation, which leads to a high mortality rate.
“Through CloudClinic, a doctor can request an investigation or prescribe a drug for the patient.
“The solution also makes it possible for a patient to quickly locate a medical laboratory, pharmacy, and hospital nearest to him or her”, she said.
According to her, CloudClinic also makes it possible for patients to have their samples collected in their homes and their drugs delivered to them when the patient cannot go out.
Similarly, the company’s Product Manager, Flourish Nnamdi said that the product was user-friendly and backed by 24-hour, seven days a week support.
Nnamdi appealed to stakeholders in the health sector to register on CloudClinic as a patient or doctor by downloading the app from the Apple Store, Google Play Store, or by visiting the website.
