GoHealth Holds Training of Trainers Session on Newly Deployed EMR
..as GoHealth prepares for hand-holding sessions to support full digitalisation among healthcare providers

Following the distribution of ICT equipment to selected healthcare facilities across Gombe State, the Gombe State Contributory Healthcare Management Agency (GoHealth) has commenced a Training of Trainers (TOT) session on its newly deployed Electronic Medical Records (EMR) system as part of preparations for the full digitalisation of healthcare service delivery.

The training, which brought together selected GoHealth staff, is designed to strengthen participants' knowledge and capacity to effectively deploy and utilise the online digital platform for patient management.

The initiative forms part of the Agency's broader digitalisation strategy, which seeks to establish an end-to-end electronic healthcare management system capable of improving patient experience, operational efficiency, drug inventory management, and accountability across GoHealth-accredited facilities.

Welcoming participants to the training session, the Director of Information and Communication Technology (ICT), Mr. Gidado Musa Biri, who represented the Executive Secretary, Dr. Abubakar Musa, said the Agency's digitalisation interventions were ultimately centred on improving patient satisfaction and eliminating unnecessary delays in healthcare delivery.
He explained that the provision of ICT infrastructure and the deployment of the EMR system were deliberate steps towards transforming healthcare processes from largely manual operations to an integrated digital system.

Mr. Biri noted that the success of the initiative would depend not only on the availability of equipment but also on the capacity of healthcare workers to properly utilise the systems and integrate them into their daily operations.

The training session was facilitated by the Operations Manager of GoHealth, Dr. Gideon Maspara, who took participants through the various stages of the newly deployed EMR platform.

Dr. Maspara provided a practical demonstration of the end-to-end patient management process, beginning from the arrival and registration of a patient at the healthcare facility through clerking, admission, laboratory investigations, pharmaceutical services, specialist review, drug charting, and appointment scheduling.

The session also exposed participants to the interconnected nature of the digital platform, demonstrating how information generated at one service point could support decision-making and service delivery at another.

The deployment of the EMR system is expected to complement GoHealth's ongoing efforts to improve drug supply chain management and claims administration. Under the digitalisation framework, facility managers will be able to monitor drug utilisation in real time, track stock balances, identify replenishment needs, and trace dispensed medicines to individual clients.

Patients are also expected to benefit from improved access to their electronic medical records through the GoHealth mobile application and web interface, enabling them to review their medical history, services accessed, drugs dispensed, and applicable co-payments.

GoHealth Concludes 3-Day Biannual Provider Forum Meeting
..Rallies Private Healthcare Providers to Invest in ICT for Efficient Service Delivery

The Gombe State Contributory Healthcare Management Agency (GoHealth) has concluded its three-day Second Biannual Healthcare Providers Forum Meeting for 2026, with a renewed call on private healthcare providers across the state to invest in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) to enhance efficiency and improve service delivery.

The forum, which brought together healthcare providers, Third-Party Administrators (TPAs), GoHealth management and other key stakeholders in the healthcare sector, provided a platform for reviewing the performance of accredited facilities, addressing operational challenges and strengthening collaboration towards achieving improved healthcare outcomes for beneficiaries.

Speaking during the concluding session, the Executive Secretary of GoHealth, Dr. Abubakar Musa, emphasised the importance of ICT adoption in modern healthcare management, urging private healthcare facilities to align their operations with the Agency's ongoing digital transformation agenda.

Dr. Musa noted that the transition towards a fully digitised healthcare ecosystem would require the active participation of all accredited providers, particularly in the areas of electronic medical records, online encounter management, digital claims processing, drug inventory management and patient data management.

He explained that the adoption of ICT would improve the accuracy of healthcare records, facilitate timely communication between facilities and the Agency, strengthen accountability and reduce delays associated with manual processes.

According to him, private healthcare providers have a critical role to play in ensuring that the benefits of digital healthcare systems are fully realised across the state.

He urged providers to view investment in ICT infrastructure not merely as an operational requirement but as a strategic investment in improving patient care and institutional efficiency.

The Executive Secretary further encouraged facilities operating in areas with unstable internet connectivity to explore alternative solutions, including reliable broadband services and satellite internet connectivity, to ensure uninterrupted access to GoHealth's digital platforms.

He reiterated that the Agency's commitment to full digitalisation was aimed at creating a more efficient, transparent and responsive healthcare financing and service delivery system.

GoHealth Equips Selected Health Facilities with Computers, Starlink, Tablets for Digitalisation

The Gombe State Contributory Healthcare Management Agency (GoHealth) has distributed a range of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) equipment to selected public and private primary and secondary healthcare facilities across the state as part of its ongoing efforts to achieve end-to-end digitalisation of beneficiary management and healthcare service delivery.

The items distributed include 35 desktop computers, five 65-inch AMOLED television sets, four Starlink internet kits with one-month subscriptions, eight tablets, and five QR/barcode scanning devices.

Presenting the equipment to representatives of beneficiary facilities, the Executive Secretary of GoHealth, Dr. Abubakar Musa, said the initiative followed the successful feasibility assessment and pre-pilot implementation of the Agency's digitalisation system at the Gombe State University (GSU) Clinic.

Dr. Musa explained that the pre-pilot phase had demonstrated significant benefits, particularly in reducing administrative costs and improving operational efficiency.

"In the pre-pilot stage at the Gombe State University Clinic, we observed that the clinic was able to save money previously spent on printing patient folders, prescription slips, and other stationery and consumables," he said.

According to him, the digitalisation process has also enhanced drug inventory management, enabling facility managers to monitor drug utilisation across various service points directly from their offices.

He noted that managers could access real-time information on stock balances at pharmacy stores, identify drugs requiring replenishment, and view available quantities at the GoPharma-managed Central Medical Store before placing orders.

"This gives facility managers a holistic overview of the drug supply chain system, from the central medical store to the service delivery point. They are also able to monitor in real time how patients consume each drug because every drug dispensed is tied to a client. Where there is leakage, the facility manager can better trace and address it," Dr. Musa explained.

The Executive Secretary further highlighted the benefits of the digitalisation initiative from the patients' perspective, noting that enrollees would have access to their electronic medical records through the GoHealth mobile application and web interface.

He said patients would be able to review their medical history, services accessed during previous visits, drugs dispensed, and applicable co-payments from the comfort of their homes. He added that the system would also allow patients to initiate disputes where they suspected overcharging.

Dr. Musa disclosed that following the success of the pre-pilot stage at the GSU Clinic, the GoHealth Board approved the commencement of a full-scale pilot across selected high-burden healthcare facilities.

He explained that the initiative would be evaluated to determine its effectiveness, after which the digital system could be mandated for use across all GoHealth-accredited facilities.
Under the current phase, each selected facility is expected to receive essential ICT equipment to support digital patient identification, service routing, claims management, and drug inventory monitoring.

The distributed desktop computers were allocated as follows: 10 to Gombe State Specialist Hospital, five to Doma Hospital, six to Madina Hospital, five to Primary Healthcare Centre (PHCC) Pantami, four to PHCC Tudun Wada, and five to the Gombe State Ministry of Health for monitoring and oversight purposes.
In addition, three tablets were allocated to Gombe State Specialist Hospital, two to Madina Hospital, and one each to Doma Hospital, PHCC Pantami, and PHCC Tudun Wada.

Each beneficiary facility will also receive a 65-inch television set for installation within the consulting area to facilitate patient identification and routing to the appropriate consulting clinics, as well as a barcode scanner and Starlink internet connectivity with one month's subscription already paid for by the Agency.
The Executive Secretary urged the beneficiary facilities to build upon the equipment provided and invest in additional ICT infrastructure as demand for digital healthcare services continues to grow.

He also announced that GoHealth had developed a structured hand-holding process lasting not less than two weeks, during which Agency staff would be deployed to the various facilities to provide on-the-job training and technical support on streamlining digital and ICT processes.

In his remarks, the Permanent Secretary, Gombe State Ministry of Health, Mr. Idris Yanbiu Buba, MNI, described the initiative as an important milestone in the state's digitalisation journey.
Mr. Yanbiu noted that rapid advances in ICT had made it possible to store large volumes of documents and information on mobile devices, stressing that GoHealth had demonstrated foresight by identifying potential challenges and developing solutions ahead of time.

He encouraged the participating facilities to embrace the innovation and ensure that the equipment provided was properly utilised and maintained.

The recipients, who expressed appreciation for the intervention, pledged to use the equipment efficiently and ensure its proper maintenance to support improved healthcare service delivery across the state.

GoHealth Urges Healthcare Providers to Strengthen ICT Capacity Ahead of Full Digitisation
..Promotes 11 Deputy Desk Officers to Local Government Desk Officers
..Cottage Hospital Tumu Demonstrates Impact of GoHealth Funding Through Comprehensive Scorecard

The Gombe State Contributory Healthcare Management Agency (GoHealth) has urged accredited healthcare providers across the state to strengthen their information and communication technology (ICT) infrastructure in preparation for the Agency's planned transition to a fully digital healthcare management system.

The call was made on the second day of the 2026 Second Biannual Healthcare Providers Forum, where stakeholders discussed strategies for improving healthcare service delivery, strengthening accountability and addressing operational challenges confronting healthcare facilities.

The Agency's Executive Secretary, Dr. Abubakar Musa, specifically encouraged healthcare providers, particularly those operating in rural and hard-to-reach communities, to explore alternative internet connectivity solutions, including Starlink, to support the increasing digitalisation of healthcare operations.

He said the recommendation became necessary following concerns raised by some rural healthcare facilities over the lack of stable and reliable internet connectivity in their areas.
Dr. Musa explained that GoHealth's ongoing digital transformation includes drug inventory management, online encounter management and electronic medical records, all of which require dependable internet access and adequate ICT infrastructure at the facility level.

He noted that the transition to digital systems was driven by the need for accurate and accessible records, improved patient management, faster referral response times, effective inventory control and enhanced operational efficiency.

According to him, ICT has the capacity to significantly reduce workload and improve productivity by enabling one person to accomplish tasks that would ordinarily require several staff members.

"The shift to ICT was necessitated by the demand for accurate records, better patient management, quick referral response time, inventory and stock management and control, among others," Dr. Musa explained.

Earlier in his remarks, the Executive Secretary called on healthcare providers and stakeholders to make judicious use of the resources under their control, stressing that responsible management of available resources remained essential to achieving improved health outcomes.

Dr. Musa urged participants to regard the forum as an opportunity for honest engagement and collective problem-solving.
"We are here to collectively work out solutions that will improve service delivery," he said, encouraging participants to feel free to express their views and concerns without unnecessary formality.

In another significant development, Dr. Abubakar Musa announced the promotion of 11 Deputy Desk Officers to the rank of GoHealth Local Government Desk Officers.

He attributed the promotion to their dedication, commitment and tenacity in advancing the objectives of the Agency.

The Executive Secretary disclosed that since the establishment of Local Government Desk Offices across the state, the workload previously handled by the central desk offices, particularly in relation to the Grievance Redress Mechanism, had reduced by approximately 80 per cent.

He charged the newly promoted officers to justify the confidence reposed in them by delivering improved results and demonstrating greater commitment in their new responsibilities.

Also speaking at the forum, the Executive Secretary of the Gombe State Primary Healthcare Development Agency (GSPHCDA), Dr. Abdulrahman Shuaibu, acknowledged that the implementation of the contributory healthcare scheme would naturally come with operational challenges.

He commended the forum's relatively smaller and more focused structure, noting that it provided an opportunity for active participation, experience sharing and peer-to-peer learning among healthcare providers.

"With the implementation of this scheme, there are bound to be challenges. This forum is kept small to encourage active participation and peer-to-peer learning amongst us," Dr. Shuaibu stated.

The GSPHCDA Executive Secretary further appealed to GoHealth management to strengthen collaboration in the area of capacity building for facility managers, particularly in leadership, management and supply chain administration.

He said that while several facility managers were performing exceptionally well, there were still gaps in some facilities that required targeted support and training.

"A lot is expected, but we should keep it in our minds that we are doing this for our patients. I was on supervision few days back, and I am very impressed with what I have seen so far. A lot of the facility in-charges are doing extremely well, but for some there are a few gaps," he said.
He added that strengthening the leadership and management capacity of facility heads would contribute significantly to improving health outcomes across the state.

Also speaking at the event, the General Manager of Gombe State Pharmaceutical Company Limited (GoPharma), Pharm. Rabiu Yakubu, disclosed that the company was developing strategies to further strengthen the demand and supply sides of healthcare delivery, particularly in the areas of logistics and pharmaceutical supply chain management.

Pharm. Rabiu commended the management of GoHealth, led by Dr. Abubakar Musa, for its interventions aimed at strengthening primary healthcare facilities through recapitalisation support and the development of an end-to-end electronic inventory management and control system.

He explained that the system enables healthcare facilities to monitor stock levels, dispense medicines and place drug orders remotely, thereby improving efficiency and reducing the risk of stock-outs.

According to him, the initiative represents a significant development in the state's pharmaceutical supply chain, as it promotes better coordination between healthcare facilities and drug suppliers.

As part of the day's activities, GoPharma also announced the runner-up winners of its Drug Procurement Champion Awards.
Akko Primary Healthcare Centres and Talasse Primary Healthcare Centres emerged as runners-up in the Primary Healthcare Centre category, while General Hospital, Kaltungo, clinched the runner-up position in the Hospitals category.
Each of the recognised facilities received a cash prize of N50,000.

One of the major highlights of the second day was a presentation by the Medical Officer of Cottage Hospital, Tumu, Dr. Umar Adamu Billiri, who demonstrated how effective management of GoHealth funds could translate into tangible improvements in healthcare infrastructure and service delivery.

Dr. Umar urged facility managers to adhere strictly to GoHealth guidelines and utilise available resources responsibly, noting that doing so would reduce operational difficulties and improve the quality of services provided to beneficiaries.

Presenting the facility's performance scorecard, Dr. Umar showcased a number of projects and interventions undertaken at Cottage Hospital, Tumu, through GoHealth financing.

Among the achievements highlighted were the installation and conversion of solar power as an alternative energy source; acquisition of a brand-new scanning machine; provision of a chemistry analyser for the diagnosis of kidney and liver diseases; and the procurement of a genotype machine for premarital screening and sickle cell diagnosis.

He further listed the provision of a PVC machine, oxygen supply equipment, a nebuliser for emergency asthma management and a new power generator among the facility's accomplishments.

Other interventions included water reticulation to staff quarters, employment and monthly payment of casual staff amounting to N600,000, ongoing multi-million-naira renovation and expansion of the hospital complex, and repairs and maintenance of the hospital ambulance.

The facility had also undertaken the painting of the entire hospital complex, provision of laptops, printers and photocopiers, construction of a car park, purchase of new mattresses and furnishing of offices for principal staff.

Dr. Umar emphasised that one of the most significant achievements recorded by the facility was its ability to sustain round-the-clock medical and healthcare services for patients.

The presentation provided participants with a practical example of how healthcare financing could be translated into improved infrastructure, staff support, diagnostic capacity and uninterrupted service delivery when properly managed.

The second day of the forum brought together healthcare providers from Gombe Central and Gombe South Zones as well as other stakeholders.

Healthcare Providers Commend Governor Inuwa Yahaya’s Healthcare Equipment Upgrade

…As GoHealth Convenes Second Biannual Healthcare Providers Forum for 2026

…Kunde PHC Win GoPharma Drug Procurement Awards

Healthcare providers across Gombe State have commended the administration of Governor Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya for its sustained investment in upgrading medical equipment and healthcare facilities across the state.

The commendation was made during the opening of the second Biannual Healthcare Providers Forum for 2026, organised by the Gombe State Contributory Healthcare Management Agency (GoHealth).

The three-day forum, which commenced on Tuesday, brought together GoHealth management, Third-Party Administrators (TPAs), healthcare providers from public health facilities from Gombe North zone and other key stakeholders in the state's health sector to review performance, identify operational challenges and strengthen collaboration towards improving healthcare service delivery.

The forum also provided an opportunity for stakeholders to assess the implementation of the State Contributory Healthcare Scheme during the reporting period and discuss strategies for addressing emerging challenges affecting beneficiaries and service providers.

Declaring the meeting open, the Executive Secretary of GoHealth, Dr. Abubakar Musa, explained that the Agency had adopted a segmented approach to its provider forums in response to the growing number of accredited healthcare facilities across the state.

Dr. Musa noted that while the Agency would have preferred to have all accredited providers participate in a single forum, the increasing number of participants had previously affected the quality and depth of interactions during such meetings.

He said the decision to organise the meeting by zones was intended to create a more conducive environment for closer engagement, allowing providers to freely share their experiences and receive timely responses to their concerns.

"I have observed that the number of GoHealth accredited facilities have been increasing, and even though we would have loved that all the providers attend our meetings, our numbers have in the past affected the quality of our meetings because of the sheer number of participants.

"We have decided to reduce the number of participants and segment the meeting into zones, thereby creating an opportunity for a much closer interaction."

According to the Executive Secretary, the forum remained an important platform for the Agency to listen directly to healthcare providers, review their experiences and address complaints arising through its grievance redress mechanism.

He expressed satisfaction with the general perception of beneficiaries regarding the scheme, while acknowledging the need for continuous improvement.

"So far so good, judging by the reports, the general perception of beneficiaries seems to be satisfactory, but there is room for improvement," he stated.

The forum also featured discussions on healthcare service delivery, provider performance, drug procurement, claims processing, beneficiary satisfaction and the need for stronger coordination among stakeholders within the contributory healthcare system.

Speaking during the session, the Chief Medical Director of Zainab Bulkachuwa Women and Children Hospital, Gombe, Dr. Peter Ubong Eyo, commended Governor Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya for what he described as unprecedented investment in medical equipment and infrastructure in public health facilities across the state.

Dr. Eyo noted that the provision of modern medical equipment, including electric hospital beds and sophisticated surgical instruments, had significantly transformed the working environment in secondary healthcare facilities.

He explained that the intervention had not only improved the confidence of patients seeking care in public hospitals but had also boosted the morale and motivation of healthcare workers.

The Chief Medical Director emphasised that improved infrastructure and access to modern equipment were essential to strengthening the capacity of healthcare facilities to deliver quality and timely services to residents.

As part of activities marking the forum, awards were presented to one healthcare facility recognised for their outstanding drug procurement performance through the Gombe Pharmaceutical Company Limited (GoPharma).

Kunde Primary Healthcare Centre (PHCC) emerged as the champions of drug procurement for the year 2025, following an assessment of their purchasing performance.

Announcing the winner, the representative of the General Manager of GoPharma, Pharm Ibrahim Paros Ibrahim, explained that the selection process was based on objective criteria, including the volume of drugs purchased and the consistency or recurrence of purchases made by the facilities throughout the year.

He further disclosed that each of the winning facility would receive a cash prize of N100,000 in addition to the recognition award.

The award, he said, was intended to encourage healthcare facilities to prioritise timely and consistent procurement of essential medicines, thereby contributing to the availability of drugs and improved patient care.

Presenting the award, the Executive Secretary of the Gombe State Hospitals Management Board, Dr. Mohammed Bello, congratulated the winning facility and appreciated their commitment to strengthening healthcare delivery through effective drug procurement practices.

Dr. Bello called on other healthcare facilities across the state to emulate the example set by Kunde PHCC, stressing that consistent procurement of medicines was critical to ensuring uninterrupted access to healthcare services.

He encouraged facility managers to take advantage of available procurement opportunities and maintain effective stock management systems to prevent shortages of essential medicines.

The forum was attended by the Permanent Secretary, Gombe State Ministry of Health, who represented the Honourable Commissioner for Health, Professor Danladi Adamu Bojude; the Director of Planning, Research and Statistics, Gombe State Ministry of Health, Dr. Suraj Kwami; directors and senior officials of GoHealth; representatives of GoPharma and the Gombe State Drugs and Medical Supplies Management Agency (GODMA); as well as heads of accredited healthcare facilities across the state.

The second Biannual Healthcare Providers Forum is expected to continue over the next 2 days reaching participants from Gombe Central and Gombe South Zones.

Kano Delegation Visits GoHealth to Understudy Digital Innovations, Vulnerability Assessment Tool..says Gombe has become a trailblazer in healthcare insurance management.

A delegation from Kano State has visited the Gombe State Contributory Healthcare Management Agency (GoHealth) on a two-day study tour to understudy the Agency's operations, particularly its advancements in information technology and the Vulnerability Assessment Tool adopted to identify and categorise vulnerable persons for healthcare coverage.

The delegation comprised representatives from the Kano State Ministry of Health, Kano State Primary Healthcare Management Board, Public Health Institutions Management Agency (PHIMA), Kano State Contributory Healthcare Management Agency (KSCHMA), and Sanitas Health and Development Foundation (SANHDEF).
Leading the delegation, the Deputy Director, Standards and Quality, Kano State Contributory Healthcare Management Agency, Dr. Muhammad Mukhtar Gora, said the visit was aimed at learning from GoHealth's innovations and operational experience, especially in the area of vulnerability assessment and digital healthcare management.

He said, “We are here as representatives from the Kano State Ministry of Health, Kano State Primary Healthcare Management Board, Public Health Institutions Management Agency, and Kano State Contributory Health Management Agency, supported by SANHDEF.”
Dr. Gora explained that Kano State had a significant number of vulnerable persons who required access to healthcare services, but lacked an objective mechanism for accurately assessing and categorising their level of vulnerability.

“We are here to understudy the Gombe State Contributory Healthcare Management Agency operations, especially its advancement in IT, and particularly the vulnerability assessment tool adopted by the Agency,” he stated.

“There are a lot of vulnerable persons in Kano, but unfortunately, we do not have a tool to objectively categorise or assess the level of vulnerability. Coming here, we hope to be able to objectively filter and assess the vulnerability indexes of enrollees.”

He expressed optimism that the knowledge gained from the study tour would help Kano State improve the management of its over one million enrollees, particularly through the practical application of GoHealth's information technology framework across its various coordinating units.

According to him, the delegation had already observed several innovations during the visit which could be adapted to strengthen healthcare insurance operations in Kano State.
“Coming here, we have seen a lot that we hope will help us manage our over one million enrollees back at home. I look forward especially to understanding the practicality of the tool in the field and its IT framework across the different coordinating units,” Dr. Gora added.

Explaining why Gombe was chosen for the study tour, he described GoHealth as a trailblazer in healthcare insurance administration, noting that the Agency's achievements had attracted attention beyond the state.

“Gombe has become a trailblazer, and if the National Health Insurance Authority would come and learn, why wouldn't Kano?” he asked.
Dr. Gora further recalled the longstanding learning relationship between the two states, noting that Kano was among the states visited by Gombe during the early stages of GoHealth's development. He expressed optimism that the existing relationship and learning synergy between both states would continue to grow.

Welcoming the delegation on behalf of the Executive Secretary of GoHealth, Dr. Abubakar Musa, the Director, Planning, Research and Statistics, Mr. Tanimu Umar, thanked the Kano team for choosing Gombe as a destination for knowledge exchange.

Mr. Umar described the visit as an indication that GoHealth was making progress in the right direction, adding that the recognition of the Agency's innovations by other states was a source of encouragement to the management and staff.

He attributed the innovations and advancements recorded by GoHealth to a two-pronged approach, comprising strong political support from the people's Governor, Alh. Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya and the resilience and result-oriented leadership of the Agency's Executive Secretary, Dr. Abubakar Musa.

According to him, the first pillar was the political will demonstrated by the Governor of Gombe State, His Excellency Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya, to ensure quality and equitable healthcare for residents of the state without financial barriers becoming an impediment to accessing essential health services.

The second, he said, was the commitment, resilience and result-oriented approach of the Executive Secretary, Dr. Abubakar Musa, whose leadership had continued to drive institutional reforms and innovations within the Agency.
The study tour featured presentations on enrolment processes, the Vulnerability Assessment Tool, reporting mechanisms and the GoHealth ICT platform. The visiting delegation also toured various departments and coordinating units at the GoHealth State Head Office to gain practical insights into the Agency's operations.

As part of the field component of the visit, the team visited a Primary Healthcare Centre in Town Maternity and the GoHealth Local Government Area office, where they observed frontline enrolment and healthcare insurance activities.

The field visit provided an opportunity for experience sharing, questions and clarifications between the Kano delegation and GoHealth officials, with discussions focusing on practical implementation, coordination, monitoring and the sustainability of digital healthcare management systems.

The two-day study tour concluded with an internal reflection session and the development of action points to guide the visiting institutions in adapting relevant lessons from GoHealth's experience to strengthen healthcare coverage and vulnerability assessment in Kano State.
