I am a Family Medicine Physician and a freelance Telemedicine Practitioner with 20 years experience in clinical medical practice.

Three years ago, I established a solo telemedicine service to provide virtual medical consultation for common medical conditions using WhatsApp, a platform I chose because it removes barrier to care in low-resource settings. You can view my services here https://wa.me/c/2349161682348

To enhance my telemedicine practice, I collaborated with a software developer and created a customised Electronic Medical Record (EMR) for clinical documentation and patient record management. 

I am also dedicated to empowering patients with information on preventive and lifestyle medicine, prescribing and following up lifestyle changes as part of routine treatment plan. This approach is driven by evidence-based research that shows how lifestyle interventions can complement pharmacological treatments in preventing, slowing or even reversing some chronic diseases. 

I continuously upgrade my skills through a combination of daily practice and online courses in 

✅ Patient-centered virtual consultations.

✅ Virtual physical examination techniques.
 
✅ Evidence-based management of common medical complaints.

✅ Evidence- based chronic disease management. 

✅ Lifestyle and preventative medicine.

✅ Digital health innovations to enhance patient experience, clinical outcome and patient retention. 


I am ready to join a forward thinking hybrid outpatient clinic immediately and contribute in implementing telemedicine solutions that improve and simplify patient care and outcome.
