OHealth App promises improved functionality as product is relaunched in Ibadan
In an evolving digital landscape, telemedicine startups are revolutionising healthcare access in Nigeria, making essential services more convenient and accessible. Hence, one of the leading telemedicine apps, OHEALTH, is back online with improved facilities.
Addressing newsmen in Ibadan, the management of OHealth said the app has positioned itself as a comprehensive health partner for Nigerians, with a faster and more user-friendly interface that improved video quality for seamless consultations.
The inventor of the online health company, Dr. Temitope Farombi, a neurologist and a consultant with the University College Hospital (UCH), said Ohealth App was established in 2020 after the awful experiences from the Covid-19 pandemic.
“I would like to thank our esteemed users for their patience, loyalty, and trust as we worked behind the scenes to make things even better for them. Your support means the world to us, and now, we are ready to serve you with improved features and a smoother experience,” she noted.
She added that “the new tools make connecting with doctors even easier. OHealth is also setting high standards. As mobile health apps evolve, the focus is on improving user experience, expanding partnerships, and increasing visibility to provide even better services to Nigerians.”
It will be recalled that the Chief Medical Director of University College Hospital, Ibadan, Professor Jesse Abiodun Otegbayo, has also attested to how the invention of telemedicine has helped healthcare delivery in the country, sharing his experience with Ohealth App that is about to clock in five years.
Prof. Otegbayo, while hosting the crew of Ohealth in his office, explained that telemedicine is good to utilize for the Nigerian populace in saving healthcare, and it is something unique and should be encouraged; adding that the COVID-19 Pandemic has taught us a lot of things even when we did not want to factor it into our practice.
The CMD added that there are a lot of advantages to telemedicine, “Where a patient would not have to move some distance to see a Doctor, and also the congestion we see in the hospitals, especially when you go to the medical outpatient or general outpatient, with the number of traffic very heavy, the patients will enjoy using telemedicine.”.
“It has been a wonderful experience, and I believe that it is the way to go, and it will continue to get better. I have known about telemedicine for a while, and I saw how it works very well outside the country, not just for consultation but for training health personnel”.
