Mr Abiru said this during a webinar hosted by the bank on: ‘Managing Healthcare Business During & Post-COVID-19’.
According to him, “If the right legislation is in place, medical tourism can be a thing of the past while providers of capital would have the comfort to bridge funding gap thus getting the sector to work optimally.” With respect to expanding coverage, improved and timely access to primary health care services, Adil Shaikh, Chief Technology Officer of MeCure, explains that Telemedicine provides patients the opportunity to access online consultation, prescription and delivery of prescribed drugs from certified pharmacies across Nigeria.
Speaking from the perspective of what her organization is doing differently to stay afloat despite the impact of COVID-19, Dr Akinware said, “we have developed a three-pronged strategy: to increase or maintain revenue; reduce or re-align cost and manage cash.” “The Polaris Bank Healthcare Loan has two variants: what can be available as overdraft facility for working capital purposes; purchase of consumables; discounting of invoices, etc. Interest is very competitive while Loan amount is subject to the applicant’s capacity,” Mr Opeke explained.
Polaris Bank is at the fore-front and has over the past few months assisted a number of healthcare businesses to access facilities under the CBN intervention Fund.

HED: Nigeria traces $9.6 billion financial hit back to $390,000 in alleged bribes - Premium Times Nigeriaast year, the British court authorized P&ID to seize more than $9.6 billion of Nigeria’s foreign assets — more than the West African country’s annual health and education budgets combined. Going by the story, a civil servant was supposed to have retired but was left in service for 16 months in order to conclude the fraudulent deal before exiting service. This caught my attention as very often we see these things happen. The rule should be rule & never overturned We should never allow politicians or high-ranking civil servants to change the rules at any time. There should be nothing like extension of service years. When people reach top positions they should have fixed years to prevent the abuse of office/power. I have seen people being retained in MDAs beyond retirement age/exit time & truth is that it was always the very corrupt and inept public servants that enjoy such a favour. The good ones I usually hurried or even pushed out.
