Outpost Health, a Canadian digital health provider, has partnered HealthPlus to deliver its award-winning telemedicine platform to the largest pharmacy chain in Nigeria.
The agreement will allow HealthPlus to utilise the Outpost platform, a proprietary secure HIPAA-compliant digital health and payments solution.
The Outpost platform connects providers, patients, payors, pharmacies, labs and health facilities globally and serves to provide seamless access and enhanced quality of care to all.
