State government-owned hospitals in Kwara State<\/a> <\/strong>are introducing electronic medical records (EMR) to strengthen health information management and modernise public healthcare delivery in the state.<\/p>\n

The Executive Secretary of the KW-HMB, Abdulraheem Malik, disclosed this to PREMIUM TIMES in Ilorin, the state capital.<\/p>\n

He said the initiative, being implemented through KW-HMB under the HOPE-PHC Project, will see healthcare workers begin training on the system in November.<\/p>\n

The digital healthcare programme is expected to reduce reliance on paper-based medical records, improve access to patients\u2019 medical histories and promote continuity of care across public hospitals in the state.<\/p>\n

The system is also designed to strengthen administrative efficiency and support evidence-based decision-making in hospital management.<\/p>\n

The rollout builds on an earlier hospital digitalisation pilot involving six hospitals and the state government\u2019s ongoing efforts to integrate digital solutions into healthcare service delivery.<\/p>\n

The initiative also complements the board\u2019s efforts to strengthen health information management, including the inauguration of its Data Management Committee in August 2026.<\/p>\n

The KW-HMB boss, Mr Malik, commended Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq for approving the initiative, describing it as an important milestone in the state\u2019s drive towards a more efficient, accountable and technology-driven public healthcare system.<\/p>\n

Mr Malik said the adoption of electronic medical records would strengthen hospital operations, improve patient information management and support more efficient clinical encounters across the state.<\/p>\n

He reaffirmed the board\u2019s commitment to working with relevant stakeholders to ensure the successful implementation of the programme and deliver more responsive, efficient and patient-centred healthcare services to residents.<\/p>\n

The staff training scheduled for November is expected to equip healthcare personnel with the skills required to operate the system effectively.<\/p>\n

When fully implemented, the initiative is expected to improve the management of patients\u2019 health information and support better coordination of care across Kwara State\u2019s public hospitals.<\/p>\n
