Digital-enabled primary health care in Lagos, Nigeria

Scope Impact is partnering with the Clinton Health Access Initiative for the “Digital-enabled primary health care (PHC) facilities for improved care quality and operations” project in Lagos state, Nigeria supported by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.  The project aims to assist the Lagos State Primary Health Care Board (LSPHCB) in Nigeria in enabling an end-to-end digitization process within the primary health care service delivery and management systems.  Scope will contribute to the project through a comprehensive, Human-Centered Design (HCD) led assessment to define patient and provider digitization and data use cases as well as to understand the data use culture at various levels of the health care system. Scope Impact and CHAI will together work across 100 clinics in Lagos, carrying out discovery with patients and care providers, as well as co-design workshops for the optimization of PHC digitization solutions and processes. The work will culminate in a set of recommendations for the deployment of digital tools across Primary Health Centre facilities in Lagos state and considerations for driving improvements in data use culture for the realization of the benefits of digitized PHC facilities in transforming service delivery and patient outcomes.
