Pre Diagnosis International has commenced a programme of spreading its service base to various parts of the country in the bid to push for greater adoption of innovative telehealth among the country’s vulnerable and underserved communities. The company announced the first of such tactical moves for the North Central and North Western parts of the country in a recent disclosure that the PDI 24/7 Doctors’ Hotline and the PDI Telehealth App have been remodeled to serve the needs of the Northern people in the Hausa language.
According to a media statement signed by the Managing
Director of PDI, Dr. John Iguve, the company’s foray into Kano, Jigawa, Kaduna,
and Abuja is in furtherance of PDI’s determination to meet the target of
delivering efficient and affordable modern healthcare to 20 million poor and
vulnerable Nigerians between 2020 and 2030.
Dr. Iguve explained that the four cities were selected for
the pilot scheme of the PDI 20-2030 Reach, Rescue, and Fortify project in the
North after the successes recorded in the South West area over the last two
years. He said plans to extend the reach to every nook and corner of the
Northern region were already afoot.
“We are happy to announce that we are moving a step
further in our campaign to make affordable healthcare services available at the
doorstep of the people especially the poor and the vulnerable across Nigeria.
Our recent decision to establish strong presence in the Northern part of the
country is aimed at helping more Nigerians to enjoy access to basic affordable
telehealth. As a semi-philanthropic hybrid health service company, PDI is
determined to lead in the efforts to ensure public health care delivery to the
poor and vulnerable through our bouquet of mass-market targeted medical
services”, he explained.
