Abuja, Nigeria — The challenge of fragmented medical records and limited access to healthcare is one step closer to being solved with the launch of MediTrust – e-Clinic, a Nigerian health-tech startup offering digital health records and telemedicine services.
Founded last month by Ayoola Adetutu Oniyinde, MediTrust is built around a simple but powerful vision: giving every Nigerian patient a secure, portable, and digital medical identity. Through the platform, patients can upload and manage their health records, book virtual consultations with licensed doctors, and receive prescriptions that pharmacies can verify instantly.
“Our mission is to put patients at the center of healthcare,” said Oniyinde. “Whether you are in Lagos, Kano, or a rural community, MediTrust ensures your medical records and doctors are always within reach.”
MediTrust is already working with private clinics and corporate healthcare providers, offering them tools to digitize medical histories, streamline billing, and reduce paperwork. Insurers can also plug into the system to authenticate claims, improving efficiency and reducing fraud.
Analysts say that MediTrust is part of a growing wave of African digital health innovation, accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic. With increased demand for remote consultations and secure data sharing, platforms like MediTrust could become critical infrastructure in the coming years.
The company emphasizes strict compliance with Nigeria Data Protection Regulation (NDPR) and international standards such as HIPAA, using encryption and blockchain audit trails to guarantee privacy and trust.
If successful, MediTrust could position Nigeria as a leader in digital health transformation on the continent, while making healthcare more affordable, transparent, and connected for millions of citizens.
