PDI Takes Telehealth To Grassroots Northern Communities

 


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.

Re: THE QUEST FOR PEACE IN IDUMUJE-UGBOKO, MY PERSPECTIVE By Dr. Gabriel Ifeanyi Ogbechie.

Our attention has been drawn to a publication, here-above referred, by Gabriel Ifeanyi Ogbechie published in Vanguard online of May 21, 2020. At best, his article may generously be termed his role in the Idumuje-Ugboko crisis otherwise it is a mere tale to ingratiate and celebrate himself and his perceived role in the fratricidal crisis. IS GABRIEL AN IMPARTIAL ARBITER? No question, when history opens the pages of this crisis for generations to come, they will surely squint with acute concern because Ogbechie's role will loudly be tainted with cruel miscarriage of justice. Certainly not a stainless umpire or arbiter. On the surface, the flow of his thoughts and presentation may hold the uninformed and innocent readers captive and thus persuaded to believe that Ogbechie, who also hails from our dear Idumuje-Ugboko Kingdom did not stand aloof over the three to four years of our intense crisis. Indeed, Ogbechie didn't stand aloof. He enunciated his meeting...

FUNKE ASHEKUN: THE RANTING OF A CONFUSED LOST SHEEP

  Woe unto those who think they can wake up one morning and decide to trouble the kingdom of God with unfounded and overcooked lies and lack of knowledge.  My name is Femi, and I am an investigative journalist on a mission for the kingdom. I will start with a scripture before I go into the unveiling of the moment.   Acts 3:3-4 KJV:   And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him with John, said, Look on us. …   THE HYPNOSIS FUNKE ASHEKUN if you are a true believer and one who understands the mystery of deliverance, you will never speak about the GOs eye contact with you as hypnosis, because its either you don’t know the level of the anointing that the GO of the church carries, or you are completely ignorant of the power within the ministry. The scripture above depicts how Peter healed the cripple at the beautiful gate by asking him to look at him, you may try to look for the meaning of the words FASTENING HIS EYES UPON HIM.   So, was it t...
