Development of an Internet-based Telehealth System for Quality Healthcare Service Delivery in Abia State College of Education (Technical) Arochukwu
Subject area: Science,Engineering and Technology · Area of research: Biology Education
Abstract
Nigeria is the most populous country in Africa with projected population of more than two hundred million people. To maintain high quality healthcare to her citizens, Nigeria requires sizeable number of healthcare workers such as doctors, nurses, midwives, pharmacists and social workers to match this large population. But due to the continuous emigration of healthcare professionals, the quality of healthcare system in Nigeria is deteriorating as the number of healthcare workers is decreasing day-by-day. One short term possible solution in area of mitigating this problem is the use of telehealth technology to provide good healthcare services to teaming Nigerians. Telehealth technology is proved to be effective and efficient in healthcare service delivery. As Abia State College of Education (Technical) Arochukwu (ASCETA) has only one nurse with no medical doctor to attend to staff and students, application of telehealth technology will improve the quality of healthcare service in ASCETA, Hence, the researcher proposed the development of an internet-based telehealth system for quality healthcare service delivery for ASCETA community.
