ABUJA, Nigeria – The Doctors on Call Health Support Initiative says it has begun plans to train 10,000 Nigerians to strengthen emergency response services and expand digital healthcare access nationwide.
Founder of the initiative, Adejobi Adeloye, announced the programme on Friday during the unveiling of the NovaDOC Integrated Emergency Response and Digital Health Ecosystem in Abuja on Friday.
Adeloye says the initiative will support trauma treatment, snakebite response, blood pressure monitoring, blood sugar checks and emergency first aid.
“We are building a self-sustaining healthcare system that eliminates dependence on one source of funding and guarantees wider access for Nigerians,” he says.
According to him, the project combines public sector support, diaspora investment, subscription programmes and community partnerships to ensure long-term sustainability.
The organisation says implementation will begin with trainee onboarding, pilot deployment of emergency kits and activation of a digital learning platform.
Later phases will focus on nationwide expansion of telemedicine services and recurring funding programmes.
Adeloye also calls on Nigerians in the diaspora to support the initiative through direct investment and community partnerships.
“We will turn brain drain into brain gain, eradicate youth unemployment and build a healthier and more prosperous Nigeria,” he says.
The NovaDOC ecosystem aims to integrate emergency response systems, telemedicine and digital health skills into a unified healthcare support network targeting underserved communities across Nigeria.
Healthcare experts say improved emergency response capacity and digital healthcare access could help reduce preventable deaths linked to delayed medical intervention.
