In a bold move to make healthcare in Lagos State more accessible and efficient, Interswitch Group recently partnered the Lagos State Government to launch the Lagos State Health Information Platform, or Lagos SHIP for short. Following the formal launch in June, key stakeholders from the Lagos State healthcare sector were recently hosted to an inaugural Lagos SHIP stakeholders’ forum in Victoria Island, Lagos.

Lagos SHIP isn’t just another tech platform; it’s a powerful tool designed to seamlessly connect patients with healthcare providers. Imagine being able to book a doctor’s appointments, pay for consultations, access your medical records, and even purchase medications—all from the comfort of your home. That’s the future Lagos SHIP is making possible. It’s all about making life easier for Lagosians, ensuring that quality healthcare is just a few clicks away.

The launch event centered around the idea that data-driven solutions are the way forward in healthcare. With Lagos SHIP, healthcare operations can be streamlined, making life easier not just for patients, but for doctors and administrators too. Think about it, less paperwork, fewer delays, and more accurate diagnoses.

The event also highlighted how this platform will put Lagos on the map, not just within Nigeria but across Africa. By leveraging technologies like AI, virtual care, and data analytics, Lagos SHIP is setting a new standard for healthcare delivery.

The platform will make it easier to manage electronic medical records securely, bringing together data from public and private hospitals to create a more cohesive healthcare experience.
What’s more, the launch wasn’t just about showing off the technology; it was about building a community around it. The engagement forum brought together key stakeholders from across the Lagos healthcare ecosystem to discuss the benefits of Lagos SHIP, address any concerns, and ensure that everyone is on board for this exciting new chapter in Lagos healthcare.
