The leading serial digital entrepreneur of Nigeria and head of Zinox Group, Mr. Leo Stan Ekeh, has urged greater use of artificial intelligence and digital technologies in healthcare, stating that the nation has the potential to establish global benchmarks in medical advancements.

Ekeh shared these comments during a recent trip to Save A Life Mission Hospital in Port Harcourt, a healthcare facility known for incorporating technology into medical services. He mentioned that he had been invited multiple times by the hospital’s chairman, Dr. Richard Okoye, but was only able to arrange the visit after two years.

When I eventually entered, I realized this was not a regular hospital,” Ekeh stated in a message to The PUNCH. “Once you step inside, you discover an environment driven by innovation, technology, and a strong commitment to preserving lives. With creative concepts from hospitals such as Save A Life, AI, and divine intervention, I am certain I will reach 120 years of age.

He pointed out that while the building’s exterior might not immediately convey its refinement, the interior contains top-tier technology and medical facilities. “This hospital functions with an integrated database system and holds its own against leading healthcare institutions worldwide,” Ekeh stated.

The Save A Life Mission Hospital has emerged as one of Nigeria’s most technologically advanced healthcare institutions. Unlike many medical centers in the country that continue to use traditional methods, Dr. Okoye has established a hospital that operates entirely through digital systems. Every aspect, from patient information to diagnostic procedures, is stored in a unified database, guaranteeing precision, effectiveness, and dependability that matches top hospitals in Europe and the United States.

Calling Dr. Okoye a “miracle doctor,” Ekeh mentioned that the doctor’s true success came from using innovation to tackle Nigeria’s healthcare issues. He noted that the hospital’s digital systems could enhance health results by over 60 percent, while cutting down on inefficiencies that frequently push Nigerians to seek treatment abroad.

Dr. Okoye, via the Save A Life Group, has created digital solutions that mimic the roles of essential healthcare workers such as doctors, nurses, pharmacists, lab scientists, radiologists, and physiotherapists. According to him, these advancements aim to ease the burden on medical personnel, allowing them to concentrate on more challenging cases and research.

One of the hospital’s advancements is a digital glucose monitoring system that continuously monitors a patient’s blood sugar levels and immediately notifies specialists for prompt action. Notably, these systems function well in rural areas where there is limited doctor availability and an unreliable electricity supply. They are also available in Nigeria’s primary local languages such as Yoruba, Igbo, and Hausa, thereby reaching a larger audience.

Ekeh mentioned that his trip strengthened his conviction about Nigeria’s underdeveloped possibilities. “Nigerians can take the lead anywhere across the globe,” he stated. “By using practical thinking and technology, we possess all the necessary abilities for achievement.”

The Save A Life Mission Hospital, led by Dr. Okoye, has become a model for Nigeria’s healthcare system, showing that high-quality, tech-based medical care can be both attainable and long-lasting in the nation.

Ekeh called on both government and business entities to collaborate with the hospital in expanding these solutions across the country.
