Information is even more critical in the health and medical sector. How can healthcare centers, hospitals, health institutions and every major player of the Nigeria health system build an indestructible, accessible and ready to use information system that is efficient and cost effective?

Really nice one. I wonder how hospital facilities get to survive this day and age without it. The efficiency of information retrieval and dissemination is unparalleled.

The EMR/EHR when properly used has several permission rights. Infact the only way privacy can be breached is if it is done intentionally which is breach of medical oath in itself or negligence by the officials.

Are you by any chance one of the notorious FTC contenders?

Personally I'm of the opinion staying with the manual recording and transmission of patient records is getting as archaic as sticking with information dissemination through NIPOST instead of emails. It's simply unthinkable in the present scheme of things in medical practice.
