In a groundbreaking move to enhance healthcare accessibility, Mobihealth International, Africa’s leading telemedicine provider, has partnered with Airtel Nigeria, one of the country’s largest telecommunications networks, to provide instant virtual healthcare services to millions of Nigerians.

With this strategic partnership, Airtel subscribers will now have seamless access to Mobihealth’s 24/7 telemedicine platform directly through the Airtel app, allowing them to consult with local and international doctors, receive e-prescriptions, and get referrals—all from the convenience of their mobile devices, computers or walk-in telemedicine clinics.

Transforming Healthcare Through Technology

Speaking on the partnership, Dr. Funmi Adewara, Founder & CEO of Mobihealth, emphasized the impact of digital healthcare in addressing Nigeria’s pressing medical needs:

“Millions of Nigerians face significant challenges in accessing timely and quality healthcare due to long wait times, doctor shortages, and distance barriers. Through this partnership with Airtel, we are leveraging technology to bring healthcare closer to the people, ensuring that no one is left behind. Our goal is to make quality medical care as easy as making a phone call.”

Airtel Nigeria’s Chief Commercial Officer, Mr. Femi Osunaja, reaffirmed the company’s commitment to leveraging technology for social good:

“Airtel has always been at the forefront of providing innovative solutions that improve the lives of Nigerians. Partnering with Mobihealth aligns with our vision of bridging the healthcare gap through digital transformation. Now, our customers can prioritize their health without barriers.”

Revolutionizing Healthcare for Nigerians

Ms. Kelechi Haidome, the Chief Operating Officer of Mobihealth, further highlighted the life-saving potential of telemedicine:

“This partnership is not just about convenience—it is about saving lives. Many Nigerians delay seeking medical care due to cost or accessibility, leading to preventable complications. With Mobihealth now available on Airtel, users can connect with experienced doctors anytime, anywhere. Whether it’s a routine check-up or an urgent consultation, help is just a click away.”

Airtel subscribers can easily access Mobihealth’s telemedicine services by:
• Opening the Airtel app and navigating to the Mobihealth section.
• Selecting a consultation option to speak with a doctor instantly.
• Receiving prescriptions, lab test referrals, and medical advice within minutes.
