He explained that the digitalisation project was being implemented in phases to ensure efficiency, sustainability and minimal disruption to patient care.
According to him, the first phase had been completed in the Family Medicine and Ophthalmology departments, where electronic systems are already being used to improve patient care, medical records management and service delivery.
Fabamwo added that the hospital’s Accounts Department had also been fully digitalised, resulting in improved financial processes, transparency
