A United Kingdom-based company, Integrated Digital Healthcare System Ltd, has unveiled a digital healthcare platform in Nigeria.
The move, which the firm says will afford Nigerians access to quality medical services from some of the best doctors in the world, will go a long way in reducing the number of people travelling outside the country for health needs.
