Oluwasoga Oni, CEO, MDasS Global, said the partnership will see thousands of Nigerians get access to quality diagnostic and treatment experience improving health outcomes and quality of life for Nigerians.
“Wellahealth has been at the forefront of expanding healthcare access for the Nigerian population. Given our shared mission, we at MDaaS Global are excited to partner with Wellahealth to bring modern, high-quality diagnostics to their beneficiaries across Nigeria through our fast-growing network of diagnostic centers,” said Oni.
Considering the limited access to good healthcare facilities for many Nigerians as a result of the Country’s economic situation, it is hoped that the partnership will deepen the drive of micro health insurance for middle to low income earners ultimately giving Nigerians a better access to quality healthcare services, which include diagnostics and treatment, while also providing health insurers with access to affordable diagnostics for their enrollees across Nigeria.
