"A few months ago, Nigerian newspapers were awash with ecstatic news about the latest government ‘initiative' - Telemedicine. I squirmed in anger as I read the details in one newspaper after the other. Somehow, a Federal Government that cannot even competently run the Yamaha generator at the presidential clinic in Aso Rock is going to take Telemedicine and eHealth to our villages. Somehow, an unimaginative leadership that cannot run rural clinics, dispensaries, and General Hospitals - don't even mention University Teaching Hospitals! - is going to abracadabra Nigeria into the one hundred percent electricity and internet-dependent world of Telemedicine and eHealth."
