PathCare Nigeria unveils its Electronic Medical Record Solution

PathCare Nigeria has launched an online delivery result system.  This will provide electronic medical record for patients, with accurate and reliable results. The solution works such that, after lab tests are conducted, it is made available online, for doctors to use to treat patients. PathCare is also available in South Africa and has worked there. Speaking to the press on the project, Managing Director of PathCare Nigeria, Pamela Ajayi said, that, “PathCare Nigeria was established in response to the increasing demand for a wider range of diagnostic tests that give accurate and reliable results. With our modern, computerized state-of-the-art laboratory, and a team of highly trained and dedicated professionals, PathCare has significantly reduced the need for Nigerians to travel abroad to gain access to accurate testing.” She continued, “PathCare Nigeria is linked in real time via secure servers to Pathcare SA through the MEDITECH computerised laboratory software and is able to fully utilize all PathCare SA facilities worldwide. We also give our doctors immediate access to test results through our secure online results delivery system called PathProvider. Every service is offered with the aim of giving all our clients the best quality service with minimal turn-around time. For doctors that use iPhones and iPads, we have the PathCare apps and is downloadable from apple apps store.” Pathcare Nigeria commenced operations from its Central Laboratory in Lagos, in October 2004 with an objective to impact the health of Nigerians by providing pathology services of an international standard. It has since opened laboratories in Abuja and Lagos University Teaching Hospital, it has other branches in Nigeria, and plans to open more.
