Hi everyone 😊

My name is Eric Nana-Osei, and I’m based in Accra, Ghana. I am a Health Informatician at 37 Military Hospital and also work as a software developer building healthcare systems.

My background is in IT and health informatics. I am interested in the DHS track because of my focus on systems, data, and interoperability 

I’m passionate about using technology to improve healthcare delivery. One challenge I see is poor interoperability between systems, which affects efficient data sharing.

I hope to learn how to design better, scalable, and integrated health systems 🚀

Looking forward to learning with you all!

Hi Eric,
My name is Olatunde Olaniyi Abiodun Oluwafemi based in Ekiti State, Nigeria.
I am a pathologist at Afe Babalola University Ado-Ekiti Multisystem Hospital and Afe Babalola University.
My background is in clinical care,teaching, research and cancer registry using data analysis.

Good to have someone with It and health informatics background amongst us.

My interest in CCD stems from a desire to improve patient care, enhance data collection, and address data silos alongside interoperability challenges.


I hope to learn practical steps from this course to solve these challenges.

I look forward to a robust and engaging information session with you and everyone in this team.

Best regards,
Olatunde

Hi Olatunde

Great to meet you! I really admire your background in pathology and research especially your work with cancer registry and data.

I also relate to the interoperability and data silo challenges you mentioned. It will be great to learn and share ideas together.

Looking forward to engaging with you more!

Hello Eric,

It is a pleasure to meet someone from Ghana joining this cohort. Your role as a health informatician and software developer building healthcare systems places you right at the heart of the work we all hope to do.

I appreciate your focus on the DHS track, systems, data, and interoperability. The challenge of poor interoperability is one I hear echoed across health systems, and it is also one I feel deeply. As a social worker in oncology, I have watched critical patient information get trapped in silos, unable to travel where it is needed. Your work is precisely what bridges that gap.

I am excited by your goal to design better, scalable, and integrated health systems. That is not just technical work; it is the foundation for patient-centered care.

I look forward to learning from your experience in Ghana and your software development expertise.
