Beyond The Video Call: The real barriers to telemedicine adoption in Nigeria.

​Beyond the Video Call: The Real Barriers to Telemedicine Adoption in Nigeria

​Telemedicine has been called the future of healthcare in Nigeria for over a decade. So why hasn't it taken off?

​We've all heard the pitch — consult a doctor from your phone, skip the hospital queue, get care anywhere. But anyone who's actually tried to build or practise telemedicine in Nigeria knows the reality is messier. Connectivity drops. Patients don't trust it. Clinicians won't adopt it. The business model doesn't hold.

​Join #StartupSouth HealthTech for a virtual learning session with a telemedicine expert who's seen what virtual care looks like when the system supports it — and can speak honestly about what Nigeria is missing.

​What we'll cover:

• ​The infrastructure, clinical, and trust barriers keeping telemedicine stuck

• ​What models have actually worked, and why

• ​The assumptions builders make that cause products to fail after launch

• ​What Nigeria needs next to move from pilots to real adoption

​Who this is for: Founders building in health-tech, clinicians curious about virtual care, developers working on health products, researchers studying digital health in Nigeria, and anyone serious about solving health problems with technology.

​Details: 📅 Friday, 6th October ⏰ 7:00 PM (WAT)
