‘Digitalisation aiding investment in health tech’

A Nigerian firm, Leoht Africa, has said the ongoing digital revolution is aiding investment in healthcare technology.

The co-organiser and Chief Executive Officer of Leoht Africa, Bunmi Aliyu, said this on Wednesday in Lagos while addressing journalists during a pre-exhibition press conference.

She also said Leoht Africa partnered with a firm, Wegvoraus in providing platforms for modernisation of the pharmaceutical and healthcare system in Nigeria.

She said that the exhibition titled, ‘West Africa Pharma Healthcare,’ provided a platform where Nigerian companies would have access to partner with international pharmaceuticals and drugs to supply for meeting the demand for medicines in the country.

“The ongoing digital revolution offers tremendous prospects for investment in healthcare technology,” she said.

“The WAPHC provides unmatched networking opportunities, connecting companies to countries with the end goal of increasing their market share and transforming the healthcare infrastructure in Nigeria.

“The healthcare industry, in particular, is experiencing a transformational phase, driven by rapid urbanisation, an expanding middle class, and increasing healthcare awareness.”

According to her, “One of the key investment opportunities in Nigeria’s healthcare sector lies in the development and modernising of private and government hospitals and healthcare facilities, to ensure it meets the healthcare & treatment demands of the Nigerian population.”

Also speaking, the Director, of Project & Strategic Management, Mr Thomas James, said, the future of healthcare should be on the agenda of the WAPHC.

James said the event would unveil pharmaceutical innovations that would redefine the healthcare landscape in the region and beyond.
