Q: How do you balance the demands of your job as a people and operations head with your personal life?
Ans: My mantra is 'Work hard, play hard.' Work is part of me; I cannot separate it. I believe in integrating work with personal life. I reply to emails at parties if it is urgent. My friends and loved ones know this about me. When it is time to work, it is work, and when it is time to take a break for personal life, it is time.
In addition, I do not take challenges at work too personally. In spite of the emotions involved, it is business as usual, and work has to go on irrespective of my feelings. It is a gift; I balance work and play effortlessly.

Q: If you had to choose a superpower, what would you choose and why?
Ans: That would be a psychic superpower! Precognition, the ability to perceive or predict future events. I would love to have this to prevent future disasters or problems for myself and people around me. Lol.
Virtual clinic booths are a reliable solution to rural healthcare challenges that often go unnoticed by people living in urban areas. The shortage of healthcare professionals in remote areas, limited resources and facilities create significant barriers to accessing healthcare services. This means that people living in rural areas may have to travel long distances to see a doctor or specialist, which can be time-consuming and expensive. Furthermore, rural healthcare facilities often need more equipment and technology to provide the same level of care as their urban counterparts. This can lead to delays in diagnosis and treatment and, ultimately, poorer health outcomes.
However, virtual booth clinics have the potential to revolutionize rural healthcare by providing a cost-effective and convenient solution to address these challenges. By leveraging technology, these clinics can give remote consultations with healthcare professionals, allowing patients to access quality medical care and consultation without traveling long distances. Virtual booth clinics help address the shortage of healthcare professionals in rural areas by connecting patients with doctors and specialists from other parts of the country. This means that people living in rural areas can access the same level of care as those living in urban areas while skipping the cost of transportation and the stress of long wait times.
What is a virtual booth clinic?
Virtual booth clinics are mini healthcare facilities that provide remote consultations with healthcare professionals through video conferencing technology. These clinics are designed to address the challenges of accessing healthcare services remotely. A virtual booth clinic typically comprises a small booth or kiosk equipped with video conferencing technology, a computer, and medical instruments. Patients can enter the booth and connect with a healthcare professional through video conferencing software. The healthcare professional can then conduct remote consultation, using medical equipment to perform primary care examinations, such as measuring blood pressure or listening to heart and lung sounds. The healthcare professional can also use the computer to access medical records and prescribe medication.

What benefits do virtual booth clinics offer?
Virtual booth clinics offer several benefits to patients and healthcare professionals alike. From convenient access to medical care for locals to allowing doctors and specialists to provide remote consultations from other parts of the country without traveling long distances or spending time away from their families and everything in between.
Increased access to medical care
One of the biggest challenges facing rural communities is access to medical care. Virtual booth clinics can help overcome this challenge by providing people living in rural areas access to medical care that may not be available locally. By using video conferencing technology, doctors and specialists can provide remote consultations to patients, enabling them to receive medical care without the need to travel long distances. This can be particularly important for people with chronic conditions who require regular medical care and those who live in remote areas without easy access to medical facilities.
Reduced transportation costs
Rural areas often need more transportation infrastructure, making it easier for people to travel to medical appointments. Virtual booth clinics can reduce transportation costs by allowing patients to receive medical care without leaving their homes. This can be especially important for people who live in areas with harsh weather conditions or for those who have mobility issues. By reducing transportation costs, virtual booth clinics can also help reduce medical care's financial burden on patients.
Increased patient convenience
Virtual booth clinics are a convenient way for patients to receive medical care. They can schedule appointments at a time that works for them without having to take time off work or travel long distances. This can be especially important for people with busy schedules or living in areas without easy access to medical facilities. By making medical care more convenient, virtual booth clinics can help improve patient satisfaction and encourage people to seek medical care when needed.
Enhanced continuity of care
Virtual booth clinics can ensure continuity of care for people with chronic conditions. They can receive medical care from the same healthcare professional, even if that professional is not in their local area. This can be particularly important for people requiring regular medical care or complex medical conditions requiring ongoing management. By improving continuity of care, virtual booth clinics can help to improve health outcomes for patients with chronic conditions.
Access to specialized care
Virtual booth clinics can help people in rural areas access specialized medical care. These services can be critical in rural areas, where people may have limited access to specialized medical care. By providing access to specialized care, virtual booth clinics can help to improve health outcomes for people with complex medical conditions.
Improved patient outcomes
Virtual booth clinics can improve patient outcomes by providing more frequent and convenient access to medical care. This can lead to earlier diagnosis and treatment of medical conditions, resulting in better health outcomes. Virtual booth clinics can help reduce the chronic disease burden on patients and their families by improving patient outcomes.
Increased patient satisfaction
Virtual booth clinics can increase patient satisfaction by providing convenient and timely access to medical care. Patients can avoid long wait times and receive care from the comfort of their own homes. This can be especially important for people living in remote areas or with mobility issues. By improving patient satisfaction, virtual booth clinics can encourage people to seek medical care when needed.
Improved population health
Virtual booth clinics can help to improve population health by providing access to medical care for underserved rural populations. This can help prevent the spread of infectious diseases and improve overall health outcomes in rural communities. By improving population health, virtual booth clinics can help to reduce healthcare costs and improve the quality of life for people living in rural areas.
Overall, virtual booth clinics are a promising solution for improving healthcare outcomes in rural areas. They offer convenient and cost-effective access to medical care while addressing the challenges of accessing healthcare services in remote areas.

Telemedicine has emerged as a game-changer in the healthcare industry, revolutionizing the way businesses reach people in underserved areas with the advent of remote healthcare in Nigeria. By harnessing the power of technology, telemedicine enables businesses to bridge the gap between patients and healthcare professionals, regardless of geographical boundaries.
One of the key advantages of telemedicine is its ability to connect businesses with people in remote and underserved areas, ensuring they receive the healthcare they need in a timely and convenient manner. Through virtual consultations, patients can access medical professionals through video conferencing or secure messaging platforms, eliminating the need for arduous travel or relocation. This breakthrough technology enables businesses to extend their reach and deliver healthcare services directly to patients' homes, offering them the opportunity to receive expert medical advice, diagnosis, and even ongoing treatment without the traditional barriers of distance and limited healthcare resources. As a result, telemedicine is playing a pivotal role in helping businesses improve CSR delivery and social healthcare initiatives to remote areas and underserved communities by bringing comprehensive healthcare services to those who have historically faced challenges in accessing quality medical care.
Below are some ways HealthConnect 247 is reimagining and improving access to healthcare even in remote areas.
What is HealthConnect 247?
HealthConnect 247 is Nigeria's leading telemedicine service provider, combining home health and remote monitoring services to provide next-generation medical care to patients. The platform connects patients with healthcare professionals through video, phone, and chat calls.
Strides HealthConnect 24x7 Has Made in Improving Remote Healthcare in Nigeria
Seamless consultation experience via the HC24X7 app
The HC24X7 app provides one of the most unique, seamless and rewarding experiences for users. It’s a fully equipped platform where patients can connect with doctor’s almost in minutes via live chat; where users can chat up doctors and get answers in real time, virtual video consultation; where users can have face-to-face sessions with our experts, and access to a toll-free line; which you can call for any health challenges anytime any day.
One of the key benefits of using the HC24X7 app is that it allows patients to connect with their healthcare providers anytime, anywhere. This is particularly important in a country like Nigeria, where access to quality healthcare can be a challenge, especially in rural areas. With the HC24X7 app, patients no longer have to travel long distances to see a doctor or wait for hours in a crowded waiting room. They can simply open the app and connect with their healthcare provider through a video or audio call.
Overall, the HC24X7 app is a significant game changer in the Nigerian telemedicine space. By providing patients with a seamless consultation experience that is both convenient and secure, the app is helping to improve access to quality healthcare in Nigeria and making a positive impact on the lives of millions of people
Reduced Healthcare Costs
Traditionally, the cost of healthcare in Nigeria is pretty high. So much so that the World Health Organization announced that 6 in 10 Nigerians lack access to primary healthcare. Amazingly, with traditional healthcare, the ratio of doctors to Nigerians is approximately 1 doctor to every 40,000 citizens. These realities contribute to the neck-breaking cost of healthcare. What we’ve been able to do is make healthcare delivery lean and flexible, without mortgaging quality. We’ve been able to adapt our process with technology to reduce overhead cost, and effectively reduce the cost of quality healthcare by over 90%.
In essence, the cost of a single consultation with traditional healthcare delivery, could cover quality health consultation for a year with HealthConnect 24x7. Our prices are as low as #1,000 for a month's subscription, and #4,500 for three months. To check a comprehensive list of our subscription plans you can click the link below.
See our subscription plans: HealthConnect 24x7 pricing and subscription plans
Improved Healthcare Outcomes
In Nigeria, we’ve recorded a number of fatalities and complications arising from delays in accessing healthcare. Our telemedicine service has significantly improved healthcare outcomes, ensuring that patients get instant and quality access to healthcare at the push of a button.
With our remote healthcare services, patients can receive medical attention quickly, which reduces the risk of their condition worsening and requiring expensive treatment. Additionally, healthcare professionals can monitor patients remotely, which improves patient outcomes.
Dedicated Toll-free line
The introduction of a dedicated and entirely toll-free line has perhaps been the most noteworthy and widely used service we’ve introduced. The toll-free line ensures that patients can easily connect with a healthcare provider at any time without incurring any extra charges. This simply means that with or without airtime, you can consult with a doctor and get the best primary health care and attention for your health.
The toll-free line is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and is staffed by a team of highly trained healthcare professionals who are available to provide medical advice, answer questions, and offer guidance on a range of health-related issues. This is particularly beneficial for patients who may have chronic medical issues or require immediate attention.
A key advantage of the toll-free line is its accessibility to patients regardless of their location, literacy level or financial status. Our experts offer medical consultation across the major languages spoken in Nigeria, including pidgin English. This is especially important in a country like Nigeria, where access to healthcare services is severely limited among low-income populations. By providing a toll-free line, we’ve ensured that patients can receive medical advice and support without worrying about incurring extra consultation cost.
Strong network of labs, hospitals and pharmacies for referral
Another significant stride we’ve taken to improve access to remote healthcare services is establishing a strong network of labs, hospitals, and pharmacies where we can refer emergency cases to. This network ensures that patients receive the appropriate medical care and treatment, regardless of their location or medical condition.
One of the key advantages of this network is that it allows us to provide our patients with a comprehensive range of healthcare services. Patients can access medical consultations, diagnostic tests, and specialist care through the network of labs, hospitals, and pharmacies. This is particularly beneficial for patients who may have complex medical conditions or require specialized care that cannot be provided through telemedicine.
Another advantage of this network is that it ensures that patients receive high-quality medical care. HealthConnect 24x7 has partnered with reputable labs, hospitals, and pharmacies that are staffed by qualified healthcare professionals and equipped with state-of-the-art medical equipment. As such, patients receive accurate diagnoses, effective treatments, and the highest level of medical care possible.
We have established partnerships with medical facilities across Nigeria, including in remote and underserved areas. This means that patients can access medical care and treatment, even if they live in areas where healthcare services are limited.
Conclusion
HealthConnect 247 is making significant strides in improving access to remote healthcare in Nigeria through our telemedicine platform. The company's efforts in improving healthcare outcomes, and expanding healthcare infrastructure is helping to ensure that more people in Nigeria have access to quality and hassle-free healthcare services. Overall, our telemedicine platform is proving to be a game changer in the healthcare industry in Nigeria and is set to improve the lives of countless individuals and communities.

Malaria: What To Look Out For And How To Treat The Disease Safely
Telemedicine has become an increasingly important part of primary healthcare and patient outcomes in 2023. It involves using technology to provide healthcare services remotely, which has significantly impacted how primary healthcare is delivered. In this blog post, we will explore the impact of telemedicine on primary healthcare and patient outcomes in 2023.
How Telemedicine Has Impacted Primary Healthcare and Patient Outcomes in 2023
Telemedicine has had a significant impact on healthcare providers and patients. One of the most significant impacts has been the increased access to healthcare services. Patients who live in rural or remote areas can now access healthcare services from the comfort of their own homes. This is particularly important for patients who have mobility issues, as well as for those who live in areas with limited healthcare resources.
Another advantage of telemedicine is a reduction in healthcare costs. Patients can save money by not traveling to healthcare facilities, and healthcare providers can save money by reducing overhead costs.
Telemedicine has also been shown to improve patient outcomes. By using telemedicine, healthcare providers can monitor patients more closely, provide timely interventions, and improve patient education.
Finally, telemedicine offers convenience for patients and healthcare providers. Patients can receive healthcare services from the comfort of their own homes, and healthcare providers can provide services from their offices or homes. This can lead to increased efficiency and productivity and improved patient satisfaction.
Challenges of Telemedicine in Primary Healthcare
While telemedicine offers many advantages, several challenges need to be addressed. Below are a few limitations to telemedicine in primary healthcare delivery.
1. Access to technology.
Not all patients have access to the technology needed to participate in telemedicine, which can limit their ability to receive healthcare services remotely.
2. Privacy and security concerns.
Patients must feel confident that their personal and medical information is protected when participating in telemedicine. Healthcare providers must follow the best data privacy and security practices.
3. Lack of face-to-face interaction
While telemedicine can effectively deliver healthcare services, there are other options besides face-to-face interaction. Patients may miss the personal connection with in-person visits, and healthcare providers may miss important visual cues that can help with diagnosis and treatment.
Impact of Telemedicine on Healthcare and Patient Outcomes in 3
Telemedicine has been shown to have a positive impact on patient outcomes. Healthcare providers can monitor patients more closely and provide timely interventions by providing healthcare services remotely. This can lead to a reduction in hospital readmissions, particularly for patients with chronic diseases.
Telemedicine has also been shown to improve chronic disease management. Patients with chronic diseases often require regular monitoring and care, which can be difficult for those who live in rural or remote areas. By using telemedicine, healthcare providers can monitor patients remotely and provide timely interventions when necessary. This can lead to better management of chronic diseases and improved patient outcomes.
Another way that telemedicine can improve patient outcomes is by improving access to specialists. Patients living in rural or remote areas may need more access to specialists, leading to delays in diagnosis and treatment. By using telemedicine, healthcare providers can connect patients with specialists regardless of location. This can lead to earlier diagnosis and treatment, improving patient outcomes.
Finally, telemedicine can improve patient satisfaction. Patients appreciate the convenience of receiving healthcare services from their homes, and telemedicine can reduce the stress and inconvenience of traveling to healthcare facilities. This can lead to higher patient satisfaction and improved patient outcomes.
Impact of Telemedicine on Healthcare Providers
Telemedicine can also have a positive impact on healthcare providers. By using telemedicine, healthcare providers can improve their efficiency and productivity. They can see more patients in less time, increasing revenue and reducing overhead costs. This can lead to a more profitable practice and improved job satisfaction.
Telemedicine can also improve work-life balance for healthcare providers. By providing healthcare services remotely, healthcare providers can work from their homes or offices, reducing the stress and burnout of long hours and a demanding workload. This can lead to improved job satisfaction and reduced turnover rates.
Conclusion
In 2023, telemedicine is expected to continue its rapid growth, with advances in technology and infrastructure making it easier for healthcare providers to deliver healthcare services remotely. Telemedicine is also expected to play a larger role in providing healthcare services to patients in rural and remote areas, significantly improving primary healthcare and patient outcomes.
