There has been quite a bit happening at Medismarts lately.
Over the past few weeks, we spoke with different media platforms about healthcare access, technology, and what it takes to build useful healthtech in Nigeria.
Rather than leave those conversations scattered across the internet, we thought we’d bring a few of them together here.
Follow along
Healthcare access should be easier
Our conversation with THISDAY focused on one of the biggest challenges in healthcare: access.
We shared more about our upcoming diaspora premium payment portal, which will allow Nigerians abroad to purchase health insurance for their loved ones in Nigeria.
The bigger idea is that health insurance should be easier to access and easier to pay for.
The next healthcare revolution needs more than hospitals
In our conversation with BusinessDay, we explored why improving healthcare in Nigeria will require more than building more hospitals.
Technology, infrastructure, healthcare financing and the systems connecting providers, patients and insurers all have a role to play.
What 10 years of healthtech has taught us
TechNext took a closer look at the Medismarts journey, from our early days in healthcare technology to the work we're doing today.
It is a look at some of the problems we've encountered, what we've learned from them, and what it takes to build technology that works within the realities of the Nigerian healthcare system.
Why great healthtech products can still fail
A good product is only the beginning.
In a piece for Condia, we explored what happens after the product is built: implementation, adoption, operations and the realities of working with healthcare organisations.
Because a product can work perfectly in a demo and still struggle in the real world.
We are still building in Healthtech in Nigeria
These conversations are useful because they give us an opportunity to step back from the day-to-day work and talk about the bigger picture.
Healthcare technology is changing, but there is still a lot to solve.
And we're looking forward to being part of that work.
