UNIZIK VC Rolls Out Digital Mobile Clinics

UNIZIK VC Prof Ugochukwu Bond Stanley Anyaehie,

Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, has taken a significant step toward advancing healthcare innovation with the deployment of Mobile Clinics and Digital Health Monitoring Solutions through the Care365 Initiative, driven by SiliconHub Limited in partnership with the University.
The initiative, introduced under the visionary leadership of the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Ugochukwu Bond Stanley Anyaehie, is aimed at improving access to smart healthcare services and promoting digital health solutions within the University community.
As part of the initiative, one mobile clinic was stationed at the University Medical Centre, while another was deployed to the Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala Female Hostel to ensure easier access to quality healthcare services for hostel residents and other students of the institution at their doorsteps.
The Smart Care Deployment Initiative integrates modern technology with healthcare delivery by providing innovative medical support systems designed to enhance efficiency, accessibility, and real-time health monitoring for students and staff of the University.
Speaking on the development, the Director of Medical Services, Dr. Jane Nkolika Ezeonu, appreciated the Vice-Chancellor for what she described as a remarkable achievement within a short period of his administration. She commended the University management for prioritizing healthcare innovation and improving the welfare of members of the University community.
Dr. Ezeonu further noted that the deployment of the mobile clinics would improve access to healthcare services for students and staff, promote a preventive healthcare culture through regular medical check-ups, and reduce pressure on existing campus health facilities.
Students residing at the Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala Female Hostel also expressed excitement over the development, applauding the Vice-Chancellor for selecting their hostel as one of the locations for the mobile clinic deployment. They described the initiative as timely and impactful, noting that it would significantly enhance healthcare accessibility and convenience for hostel residents.
The partnership with SiliconHub Limited further reflects the University’s commitment to innovation, digital transformation, and sustainable healthcare development in line with global best practices.
The deployment of the mobile clinics across the campus is expected to deliver on-site medical consultations and basic treatment services, support routine screenings, immunization, and outreach programmes, provide rapid medical response during emergencies, and enable telemedicine access to specialists when required.
The importance of the initiative to the University community cannot be overstated, as it will greatly improve access to healthcare services for students and staff, encourage a culture of preventive healthcare through regular check-ups, reduce pressure on existing campus health facilities, and enhance health awareness and early diagnosis.
