The medics call are the deployment of new digital telemedicine machine to provide easy access to medical care centres in the 23 local government areas and across the country at large. Plus TV news correspondent Habila Dorofai filed on this report. There are a high number of people lacking access to good and quality health care facilities that must be addressed urgently and save the lives and patients in local communities. The new telemedicine acquired will help address the challenges patients are facing, which will give them 24-hours access. The Carduna State Commissioner for Health, Hajiya Amina Mohamed Baloney made the disclosure during the launching of telemedicine equipment at Barau Dico Teaching Hospital, Carduna. Experts from here using this machine can consult any patient anywhere in Carduna or even beyond where they link up with the hospital. They can be able to prescribe, they can be able to see what is wrong, they can support the doctors on ground where they are. Very important because as you know we don't have a lot of specialists and so it allows them to consult everywhere. To connect all the wards in the LG and you know our general hospitals are in the LG heads. Most all of them have internet connection but it's something we can advocate to the telecom companies and get them to. But this is very timely because we need, you know people in the rural services, rural areas also need services. Also the Chief Medical Director Barau Dico Teaching Hospital, Carduna Professor Abdul Qadar Musa Tabari says a use of machine will ease some difficulties and hardship faced by the people before coming to hospital for treatment. We felt we must strive to get that telemedicine services. Even at their homes they can just link up with their phone devices, handheld devices or computers and with this machine you can see them as if they are in front of you. So that's the beauty of the machine. It's not like other virtual meetings after we have like Zoom, Teams and the rest. No, this one you can see even the minute test detail, if you are a dermatologist you want to see the minute test detail on the patient and then again if the patient, in case the patient is having his doctor somewhere, the doctor needs further consultation. The patient, the doctor can put his stethoscope on the chest of the patient and we have in the machine an electronic stethoscope that can pick that heart sound and so many other things in the chest as if the patient is there alive. However, on high remarks, Dr. Halima Sadia Gumi who represented the Consent Medic Foundation promised to bring such machine into the country to help support and improve the country's emergency care as well as trying to get all the diaspora doctors from Nigeria to participate and come back to help the country. One of the things is you know the telemedicine is how can we bring a machine you know with virtual health now. We can actually support them from the UK, from the US. So it's all about how do we support healthcare in Nigeria with all the ongoing brain drain. We have already started a project actually in Borodiko with the emergency department so I was here last year and we were supporting them to improve their care for emergency care. It says that endurance must frequently go and check themselves and avoid using medication without doctors prescription.
