LifeBank, a health-tech startup that provides hospitals with access to safe and quality medical supplies has signed an agreement with the Yobe State Drugs and Medical Consumables Agency (YODMA) for the digitisation of its supply chain.
The event which took place on Thursday in Abuja Nigeria, formalizes the relationship between both parties to build a long-term partnership that will bring innovation to the last mile in the North East.
Established in 2020, the YODMA was created to procure drugs and medical consumables for onward sales and distribution to healthcare centres across the state.
Since its establishment, it has increased the quality of healthcare available in Yobe State with other states in the region studying and replicating the model.
Under the agreement with YODMA, LifeBank will bring its expertise in deploying technology and mobility solutions in 12 cities across Africa to improve the agency’s distribution model and response time.
Its goal will be to ensure that YODMA can distribute supplies faster and safer powered by improved technology that ensures that there is no stock out of medicines and supplies in the healthcare centres and last mile delivery in the state.
Speaking at the signing of the MoU, LifeBank Founder and CEO, Temie Giwa Tubosun, noted: “We are very excited about this partnership, it gives us an opportunity to use our tech and innovation to strengthen healthcare centres in the North.
“This ensures no one dies as a result of the unavailability of medicine and hospital supplies. We look forward to deploying our expertise to help YODMA achieve its goal”.
Also, at the signing of the MOU was the Country Manager, LIfeBank Nigeria, Ugochukwu Obiakor who described this as a strategic partnership.
