Patients in Nasarawa state and across the country are to experience lesser queues before getting treatment at the Federal Medical Centre, Keffi as the Federal Government is adopting a new system to improve service delivery.
The decision was made known in a statement made available by the Head of Public Relations and Protocol Unit of the Federal Medical Center Keffi, Esther Bature who explained that the new Smart Clinic paying system would improve the already existing paperless policy which would combat the waiting time being experienced at the hospital’s pay points.
She adds that the new system would further improve the hospital’s services in the areas of Cardiology, Gynaecology, Pediatrics, Dialysis and VIP Clinic.
In the statement, The Federal hospital notes that the Smart Clinic would be responsible for creating wallet, which would be accompanied by a Smart Card through which deposits would be made and used for paying bills within the hospital.
The new system will provide patients the opportunity of depositing monies in their wallets from the comfort of their homes, thereby avoiding the queuing system to its barest minimum.
