He said: “There is need for collaboration between relevant agencies and professional associations such as information technology, health and NMA, and other stakeholders to ensure the full deployment of information technology in the health sector in Nigeria.

We must encourage local capacity-building in the deployment of information technology in the health sector. This will enhance the development access and maintenance of the system” he said “Today, Health Information Management and Technology, HIMT, professionals must have a deep understanding of not only the management of health data, but also the software and systems needed to manage and analyse data.

There are many demerits of using dated tecnhiques for health care delivery since we must continue to ensure patients” confidentiality and safety,” he stated.

He said there is need to have a scrupulous and detailed legislation to control in Nigeria. President of NACC, Oluwatoyin Akomolafe said the topic was significant in many ways as it is becoming increasingly clear that the traditional way of solving health problems is dangerous so there is the need for quality investment in information technology in the health care sector to improve healthcare delivery.

“Effective use of communication technology by health care and public health professionals can bring about an age of patient- and public-centred health information and services in Nigeria.

There is the potential to: improve health care quality and safety, increase the efficiency of health care and public health service delivery, improve the public health information infrastructure, support care in the community and at home, facilitate clinical and consumer decision-making and build health skills and knowledge,” he said.
