The Lagos State government is adopting the CarePay mobile application to deliver affordable healthcare to residents in the city of over 15 million people particularly those under the poverty line.

Technology adoption by the state is part of the design to drive uptake of the mandatory Lagos Health Scheme (LSHS) expected to be launched in the weeks ahead.

Governor Akinwunmi Ambode while addressing residents, traditional rulers, party chieftains and other dignitaries said the LSHS is a state-wide health insurance initiative targeted to ensure that all residents of the state have access to quality, affordable health care services.

The LSHS covers treatment of common adult and childhood ailments, maternal and child services, preventive healthcare services, selected non-communicable diseases and surgeries.

The ‘CarePay’ ICT platform is a mobile solution for scheme administration which serves as a digital health exchange that would connect the three important stakeholders in healthcare: payers, healthcare providers and the users or beneficiaries, said Commissioner for Health, Dr. Jide Idris.

The technology “will guarantee ownership of all data generated and ensure that these data can be used to make informed decisions,” he added as he reiterated the commitment of Governor Ambode to bringing affordable healthcare to all residents in the state.

He said CarePay demonstrates how digital mobile solutions can be utilized to improve decision-making and transparency, reduce transaction costs, and increase access especially for poor households.

Carepay is coming to Lagos through collaboration by the State Ministry of Health with PharmAccess Foundation Nigeria, a non-governmental organization targeting to improve access to healthcare in Africa through technology and mobile innovations.
