As part of its sustained efforts to digitalise Nigeria’s healthcare
ecosystem, Interswitch, one of Africa’s leading integrated payments and digital commerce companies,
through its health-tech subsidiary, Interswitch eClat, has launched eClinic, its Electronic Medical Records
(EMR) solution at the National Orthopaedic Hospital, Enugu (NOHE).
Commissioned by the Honourable Minister of State for Health, Dr. Iziaq Adekunle Salako, the launch
marks the fourth deployment of the eClinic solution in federal health institutions, following earlier
rollouts in Osun, Ogun, and Edo States.
This milestone represents another significant step in the Federal Ministry of Health’s drive to modernise
healthcare delivery through digital innovation, and builds on Interswitch’s commitment to healthcare
innovation, following its recent partnership with the Lagos State Government on the Lagos Smart Health
Information Platform (SHIP).
Built to streamline clinical workflows, enhance care coordination, and improve patient outcomes,
Interswitch’s eClinic offers healthcare professionals real-time access to comprehensive and centralised
patient records. It also supports a broad range of hospital functions, including patient registration,
diagnostics tracking, pharmacy management, and administrative reporting. Designed with Nigeria’s
healthcare infrastructure realities in mind, the platform operates in both online and offline modes,
ensuring continuous uptime and uninterrupted service delivery.
The Minister of State for Health emphasised that the deployment of the EMR in Enugu aligns with the
Ministry’s broader vision of modernising healthcare services and building a healthier Nigeria. He noted
that the Federal Government remains committed to fostering meaningful collaborations with the
private sector to deliver measurable impact for Nigerians.
According to him, digital systems like the Interswitch’s eClinic enable federal hospitals to deliver more
accurate, efficient, and patient-focused care. By reducing administrative burdens, improving record-
keeping, and supplying real-time data for planning and evaluation, these tools are empowering
healthcare workers and strengthening service delivery across the board.
Speaking at the event, Babatunde Fadeyi, Vice President, Health Ecosystem (Public Sector), Interswitch,
reiterated the company’s commitment to innovation, strategic partnership, and improving health
outcomes nationwide. He stated:
“Interswitch’s collaboration with key stakeholders, including government institutions, reflects our
dedication to drive digital transformation across critical sectors such as healthcare. With eClinic, our
EMR solution, we are empowering healthcare professionals to work more efficiently and deliver
improved outcomes for patients across the country.”
Interswitch’s approach to deployment has been fuelled by deep stakeholder engagement and
continuous learning. Each rollout is adapted to the specific needs of the host hospital, ensuring the
solution is both technically sound, customisable, and user-friendly. From needs assessments to user
interface testing and staff training, healthcare workers have played an essential role in shaping the
platform and providing feedback that has guided continuous improvements.
With the successful launch in Enugu, Interswitch is set to expand the eClinic platform to more federal
and state health institutions nationwide. Future enhancements will introduce AI-powered diagnostic
support, health insurance integration, and improved supply chain visibility, all contributing to a more
responsive, connected, and data-driven health ecosystem.
Through its strategic interventions and technology-driven solutions, Interswitch continues to play a
pivotal role in shaping the future of healthcare in Nigeria, advancing digital inclusion, and setting new
standards in health service delivery.
As Interswitch deepens its investment in health-tech innovation, the company is helping to shape a
smarter, more inclusive healthcare future for Nigeria, one where digitalised systems drive quality,
accessibility, and efficiency across all levels of care.
