The Founder of African Impact Initiative, Efosa KC Obano, said on this partnership, “Our team is very excited about working with Medcera to provide EHR solutions at no cost, to hospitals that can’t afford this normally. We’ll be starting off with the Cottage Community Hospital in the coming weeks. There are so many other hospitals/communities that need this across Africa, and it aligns with our mission of impacting our African community positively.”
Commenting, Medcera General Manager, Timothy Egwemi said, “We are excited on the promise of working with African Impact Initiative. We are a very innovative company with a unique technology. We remain the only EHR in the world that has harmonized patient records without risks to privacy and security. With Medcera, a patient’s health record is delocalized which means irrespective of his or her current location, care will always be delivered by healthcare professionals having access to the current pertinent health data. With AII, we are confident that we will touch more lives as our solution serves doctors, labs, imaging centers, pharmacies and indeed all key players in the healthcare sector”.
