On the Ground Implementation
Empowering MNCH Programs in Nigeria with EMR4All
To support primary care in Nigeria, EMR4All has launched a pilot site at Nyikangbe Health Clinic. This initiative focuses on strengthening maternal, newborn, and child health (MNCH) programs through improved EMR access and usability.
Implementing EMR4All in a High-Volume Hospital
EMR4All has reached an agreement with Nd'jili General Referral Hospital in Kinshasa, the capital of the Democratic Republic of Congo, to roll out its solution in a major healthcare facility. This deployment will help enhance and adapt the EMR4All kit to better manage operations in high-volume patient settings, improving efficiency and care delivery.
While the initial priority has been to ensure the readiness of the EMR4All products, we are now actively expanding our pilot program to deploy the kits in real-world settings. This enables healthcare facilities to roll out the solution on-premises as we scale toward global adoption
