A U.S.-based Nigerian Assistant Professor of Family Medicine, Dr. Oyetokunbo Ibidapo-Obe Somorin, has admonished the Federal Government to embrace the adoption of telemedicine to reduce the effects of mass exodus of Nigerian medical practitioners to Western nations.
She stated this during an interactive radio programme entitled “Digital Life” on Nigeria Info, which aims to bring both Nigerians and the government closer to the technological realities across the globe.
Commenting on the need for massive adoption of telemedicine across the country, Dr. Ibidapo-Obe noted that the successes recorded nationwide during the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic could be built upon to deepen the healthcare infrastructure which could also serve as a stopgap to the mass exit of Nigerian doctors.
To further enhance the smooth adoption of telemedicine in Nigeria among residents in rural areas, Dr. Ibidapo-Obe noted that the usage of toll-free numbers could further drive success rates across the nation.
