The Lagos state government on Tuesday signed a concession agreement with technology company, Interswitch, for the implementation of the Smart Health Information Platform (SHIP).
“This platform signifies the start of a comprehensive technological overhaul in our state’s health sector, aimed at enhancing residents’ access to healthcare services,” Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu said in a post on X.
“I believe that this platform represents a significant and innovative approach to utilizing technology for accessing health information.
“It is poised to deliver numerous benefits and eliminate payment barriers, thereby encouraging citizens to actively engage with the process.”
SHIP will enable the state government to “monitor and measure all health cases within” Lagos, according to an expression of interest document from the Lagos State Office of Public-Private Partnerships.
