Globacom has an­nounced a robust health plan that will revolutionise health care de­livery in Nigeria by giving the people access to a worldwide database of top doctors.
 
To be called Glo Health, Globacom said on Friday at a briefing of key media contacts that when the plan is launched in a few weeks, it will give Ni­gerians an opportunity to get information on common medical conditions at the click of a button.
 
Another benefit of the prod­uct is that it gives access to in­formation on common health challenges and offers health advice on public health. The company said those who will use the service can also track key health parameters such as blood pressure and sugar level and book appointment by vid­eo consulting on their smart­phones.
 
Globacom also said it is ready to significantly boost the Glo Entertainment Por­tal. The portal is a single point of access for all digital content through Glo Café which sup­plies premium content of top international labels.
 
Over 2 million local and for­eign songs will be available on Glo Café.
 
Glo Café has over over 12,000 Hollywood, Nolly­wood, Bollywood movies, and gives
 
access to more than 10,000 games from top gaming devel­opers across the globe.
 
It also offers songs, comedy, sports and short videos from top music channels while fea­turing more than 62 live chan­nels on Glo Mobile TV.
 
The Digital Transforma­tion Leader also announced its plan to launch in due course Glo Titi, an artificial intel­ligence platform that com­pletely changes customer ex­perience.
 
Described as highly interac­tive and engaging, Glo Titi will assist customers to get infor­mation about data plans, pre­paid plans, postpaid plans and Value Added Service (VAS).
 
The company also said it plans to play a major role in the quest by Nigeria to ex­pand the scope of its financial inclusion through Glo Mobile Money, an
 
agent network for quick mobilisation of funds for util­ity payments.
 
It stated that Glo Mobile of­fers safe and secure transfers to reduce physical cash man­agement even as it guarantees instant transfers with 24×7 availability.
 
Glo Drive, another product soon to be launched, will ad­dress the problems subscribers face in storing data by offer­ing limitless storage capacity in the cloud.
 
Glo Call Connect Services allows subscribers with zero balance to notify called sub­scribers through SMS notifi­cation while World Connect offers affordable roaming Data and anywhere in the world. The Glo team at the event was led by Bisi Koleoso, the Dep­uty Chief Operating Officer, Technical.
