The Natview Foundation for Technology Innovation (NFTI) observed Universal Health Coverage (UHC) Day by demonstrating its dedication to using data to support policymakers in the health sector and guarantee accessible and equitable healthcare for all individuals.
Annually observed on December 12th, this worldwide event strongly aligns with the mission of NFTI, which is to utilize technology constructively to benefit society. UHC Day serves as a global call to action, urging nations, organizations, and individuals to accelerate efforts toward achieving UHC – a vision where everyone can access quality health services without facing financial hardship. This year’s theme, “Health for All: Time for Action,” underscored the urgency of tangible steps to ensure the realization of UHC goals.
At the heart of NFTI’s celebration was a reflection on the organization’s ongoing initiatives aligned with UHC objectives. Through innovative technology solutions, NFTI has been actively involved in supporting policymakers in Nigeria’s healthcare sector. The focus is on evidence-based policymaking to enhance health service accessibility and contribute substantively to the broader vision of health for all. The Health Facility Analytics Platform (HEFA), one of our data-driven solutions, exemplifies NFTI’s dedication to the progression of healthcare analytics and decision-making. By aggregating health facility datasets, this platform furnishes stakeholders with significant insights that facilitate well-informed policy implementation, performance evaluation, and planning. By integrating state-of-the-art data management and verification procedures, HEFA substantially enhances the efficacy and efficiency of the healthcare system. In addition to solutions such as HEFA, the NFTI’s commemoration underscored the organization’s endeavors to enhance the accessibility of primary healthcare, with a specific focus on underserved communities. These endeavors utilize technology to establish connections, guaranteeing the accessibility of vital healthcare resources, even in geographically isolated regions. The objective is to make a direct contribution towards the overarching aim of attaining universal health coverage (UHC) in Nigeria.
We wish to extend our sincere appreciation to all of our partners, collaborators, and committed individuals who are actively striving to improve the accessibility of healthcare. It is impossible to overstate the significance of collaborative efforts in nurturing a future in which quality healthcare is accessible to all and instigating positive change. Reiterating our dedication to the pursuit of universal health coverage, we reaffirmed on UHC Day our intention to press the limits of innovation, technology, and collaboration to make a significant contribution to this endeavor.
As the world takes collective action, NFTI stands at the forefront, working towards a future where health is truly for all.
