A technology that provides easy access to healthcare experts anywhere in the world at any time, at one’s convenience, and at the comfort of one’s home has been launched in Abuja. The technology which is called ‘Ezzycare’ is focused on connecting care seekers to healthcare providers in their area and enabling them to access quality medical care from the comfort of their homes or offices

Addressing Journalists in Abuja on Tuesday, the Chief Executive Officer of Ezzycare, Dr. Torngee Malu, explained that with the technology, patients “no longer need to queue at the hospital to access healthcare. They can get video consultations or home visits from doctors, book lab tests, and order medicine from the comfort of their homes or offices.”

He added that “It allows care seekers to control the choice of healthcare providers, where they want to get the care, and how much they will pay and further noting that “They can decide who to get care from after looking at the prices and experience of the care providers. Care seekers can also review and rate the care they receive, ensuring that they receive quality care.”

The Chief Executive Officer insisted that the technology has immense benefits to both the care seekers and providers. According to him: “The technology provides healthcare providers with control over their time and earnings, they decide how much to charge when they are available and the type of service they want to offer.”

“Healthcare providers can make as much money as they want by working on Ezzycare. It also allows healthcare providers control over their time and earnings, ensuring that they can achieve better work-life balance and improve their quality of life,” he stated.

Dr. Torngee Malu noted that Nigeria and Nigerians stand to benefit immensely from the technology as far as there is network connectivity even in remote communities that are hard to reach. “In a country like Nigeria where access to healthcare is a challenge for most people in rural areas and people in remote places like the military in Sambisa Forest and other war zones, Ezzycare will make it easy for them to consult a Doctor as long as they have a phone and internet connection.

“They can get any Doctor for a video consultation. Also, people can book care seekers for their loved ones, whether they are in Nigeria or abroad,” he further explained. While noting that technology is the future of healthcare globally, he however, noted that: “Ezzycare is available for download from the Google Play store or Apple Appstore (www.ezzycare.com).

Also speaking during the launch, the Medical Director of EZZYCARE, Dr. Deborah Ojiako, explained that those who have used the technology have made encouraging comments about it. She noted that the technology was made in a way that even the uneducated can use it as it is simple and easy.

On her part, the Head of Administration of Ezzycare, Prisca Popoola, explained the three available consultations that are accessible by Ezzycare which according to her,  include home care, clinical visit, and video call consultation. She revealed that currently, the technology has over 1500 doctors who are always available to attend to patients.

“Patients now have the choice. You can get the doctor to your home, or go over to the clinic for your consultation and finally, the video consultation where a doctor will attend to a patient within 30 seconds of booking,” she further explained.
