Interswitch Group, a prominent player in Africa’s payments and digital commerce landscape, recently showcased its dedication to advancing healthcare innovation by sponsoring the 2025 Healthcare Federation of Nigeria (HFN) Annual Conference. The event, under the theme
“Expanding Access to Quality Healthcare: Transforming Nigeria through Innovation, Partnership, and Sustainability,”
convened on February 27th and 28th at the Oriental Hotel in Lagos. It brought together a diverse array of stakeholders from the healthcare industry, including policymakers, industry leaders, healthcare professionals, and technology visionaries.
The conference served as a dynamic platform for deep-diving into crucial topics such as digital transformation in healthcare financing, the pivotal role of technology in enhancing service delivery, and forging strategic alliances to foster sustainable growth within the sector. Interswitch leveraged this gathering to present its cutting-edge healthcare solutions portfolio which includes offerings like eClinic—a robust electronic medical record suite—and health insurance management systems. Additionally, the company showcased its secure digital payment platforms designed to optimize revenue collection processes for healthcare providers while simultaneously elevating service standards and expanding access to quality care.
Speaking on Interswitch’s steadfast commitment to leveraging technology for advancing Nigerian healthcare operations, Babajide Oyeduntan—Vice President of Business Development and Sales at Interswitch eClat—emphasized how technology can revolutionize operational efficiency across various sectors. He remarked,
“Our healthcare solutions are crafted to empower providers by simplifying technology adoption processes, enhancing patient management capabilities, and enabling sustainable growth.”
Oyeduntan highlighted that Interswitch’s track record boasts a growing roster of satisfied clients benefiting from increased productivity through their innovative platforms.
Apart from their involvement with the HFN Conference sponsorship activities mentioned earlier, Interswitch has been actively propelling digital transformation within Nigeria’s healthcare domain. Noteworthy is their collaboration with the Lagos State Government which led to the development of the Lagos Smart Health Information Platform (Lagos SHIP). This initiative underscores Interswitch’s broader mission of utilizing technology tools to address inefficiencies prevalent in critical industries such as healthcare.
By integrating advanced digital solutions into essential aspects of healthcare administration and payments processing mechanisms alike—an endeavor exemplified by initiatives like Lagos SHIP—Interswitch continues steadfastly on its journey towards fortifying service delivery standards whilst enhancing patient experiences and ensuring financial sustainability. In essence, they consistently reinforce their pivotal role as an innovation catalyst within Nigeria’s evolving healthcare ecosystem.
Through sustained support via sponsorships coupled with active participation across significant industry gatherings like the HFN Conference discussed above; Interswitch maintains an unwavering position at the forefront championing digital adoption within Nigerian healthcare circles. Their overarching objectives include driving financial inclusion initiatives alongside fostering an environment where transformative technologies empower both care providers and patients harmoniously towards better health outcomes.
