GoHealth donates ICT equipment, essential drugs, and medical consumables to Gombe State University Clinic
…launches end-to-end electronic medical record system for clerking patients and monitoring drug levels
The Gombe State Contributory Healthcare Management Agency (GoHealth) has strengthened healthcare delivery at the Gombe State University (GSU) Clinic with the donation of ICT equipment, drugs, medical consumables, and launched a fully digitalised end-to-end medical system designed to enhance clinical efficiency and drug inventory management.
During the commissioning of the equipment at the University Clinic, the Executive Secretary of GoHealth, Dr. Abubakar Musa, described the intervention as a major leap toward modernising health services across GoHealth-accredited facilities.
“What we are doing here marks the beginning of a full digital transformation of GoHealth centres,” he said. “We chose Gombe State University as the pilot site, and once we evaluate its performance, we will scale this digital system across the state to improve transparency, coordination, and service quality.”
The newly introduced digital platform enables the clinic to electronically clerk patients, store medical histories, assign appointments, and monitor drug stock levels in real time. This eliminates manual record-keeping and ensures uninterrupted availability of essential medications.
“Students no longer need to physically queue just to book an appointment,” Dr. Abubakar explained. “They can now schedule consultations directly from their hostels, lecture halls, or anywhere on or off campus. It’s a system designed to save time and improve patient experience.”
The donation to the Clinic included laptops, Android tablets, digital display screens, waiting-area chairs, drug storage units, a blood bank, assorted drugs, and other medical consumables, all aimed at strengthening both administrative workflow and clinical care.
Receiving the items, the Vice-Chancellor of Gombe State University, Professor Sani Ahmed Yauta, lauded the partnership as timely and transformative.
“When we signed the MoU with GoHealth, we were confident that our long-standing healthcare challenges would be addressed,” he said. “This digitalisation effort confirms that belief. We deeply appreciate GoHealth’s commitment and the support of His Excellency, Governor Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya whose vision made this progress possible.”
With about 18,000 students already enrolled under the GSU Student Contributory Health Scheme, the digital health upgrade is expected to significantly improve access to fast, reliable, and technology-driven healthcare services on campus.
This milestone further reinforces GoHealth’s mission to build a responsive, tech-enabled healthcare system for all beneficiaries in Gombe State.
