I'm Nnamdi Orah, a Pathologist and Senior Lecturer at the College of Medicine of the University of Lagos. My background is in Oncology and I am interested in the CCD track. I would like to see more doctor-friendly informatics applications and this is a challenge I see currently. I hope to come away with the skills to build this.
Hi Dr. Nnamdi
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.
Nice to have a fellow pathologist in the team
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

Re: Introduction
Dear Dr. Nnamdi,
Yes, digital systems can work on Nigeria despite infrastructure limits or challenges.
Documentation is still our biggest gap,but we can leverage cost-effective, homegrown software like open-score EHR,cloud -based tools with offline sync, and mobile -first apps that runs on existing networks.
These I believe can bridge the paper-to-digital without heavy infrastructure.
Thank you

Dear Dr Nnamdi,
Thank you for your thoughtful insights. I agree that digital systems can indeed thrive in Nigeria despite existing infrastructural limitations. Your emphasis on documentation as a critical gap is particularly important, as poor data capture continues to hinder continuity of care and informed decision-making.
I also appreciate your suggestion of leveraging cost-effective, homegrown solutions such as open-source EHRs, cloud-based platforms with offline capabilities, and mobile-first applications. These approaches are not only practical but also contextually relevant, especially in settings where connectivity and resources are constrained.
I believe that with strategic implementation, capacity building, and stakeholder engagement, these innovations can effectively bridge the transition from paper-based to digital systems without the need for heavy infrastructure.
Thank you once again for sharing these valuable perspectives.
Kind regards,
Iyanuoluwa O. Ojo
