Intel Nigeria has lifted
over 200 health workers at the National Orthopedic Hospital in Igbobi, Lagos
with Information and Communications Technology (ICT) training beginning with
computer literacy project.
Corporate Affairs Manager
of Intel Nigeria, Mr. Osagie Ogunbor, reveals this development to ITRealms, saying
that the entire project is about improving the standards of health care
delivery in the country by ultimately connecting most leading hospitals to a national
network such that doctors could easily access medical records of patients in
any hospital by the click of a mouse.
Intel, he said, partnering
with Synapses a medical network company to deliver on this project.
The Managing Director of
Synapses Dr. Segun Ebitanmi expressed appreciation to Intel for the free
digital training, adding “when we embarked on this project to provide digital
infrastructure to hospitals in the country, the biggest challenge we
encountered was the fact that most of the health workers expected to use the
software and applications had little or no computer skills.
