During the summit on Thursday, Shekarau emphasized that embracing technology could help the government overcome challenges in the healthcare system and bring essential services closer to Nigerians. He proposed leveraging Islamic finance principles to create financing models supporting the adoption, implementation, and scaling up of digital health solutions across Nigeria.

Baba Muhammad, President of the Africa Islamic Economic Foundation, echoed the call, urging Nigeria to tap into financial resources aimed at revolutionizing healthcare accessibility and sustainability on the continent. Muhammad highlighted the unique challenges and opportunities Africa faces in healthcare, stressing the role of digital technology and Islamic finance in addressing these issues.

Muhammad emphasized the power of digital technology, particularly telemedicine and mobile health applications, in providing healthcare services to remote areas. He also highlighted how Islamic finance principles can promote ethical and socially responsible investment, ensuring fairness, inclusivity, and prioritizing the well-being of individuals and communities.

Supporting the need for Nigeria to diversify its healthcare financing beyond budget dependence, Stanley Ukpai, Project Director at DRPC, called on stakeholders at the summit to explore alternative funding sources. He emphasized the summit’s role in linking new funding sources with digital healthcare opportunities to transform Nigeria’s healthcare delivery, especially as the country is set to witness its highest budgetary allocation to health, reaching 8% in 2024.
