Why JNC International is committed as the frontliner of Nigeria’s medical innovation, by Omatseye

With a vast understanding of the peculiarities and challenges of the Nigerian healthcare environment, JNCI has been able to proffer appropriate medical technology on a sustainable long-term and cost-effective basis to government, public and private healthcare institutions in Nigeria and parts of West Africa, in line with global best practices and standards.
We have been in existence for over nineteen years, and are currently based in Lagos with over 130 staff strength including field staff, especially trained engineers all over the country.

JNCI’s primary objective is to deliver innovative healthcare solutions by creating unique customer experiences and promoting life and wellbeing to public and private healthcare institutions through sustainable partnerships and by offering cost-beneficial medical equipment services solutions and support over the lifetime of the assets. We remain focused on the journey to ultimately improve the quality of healthcare in Nigeria and Sub-Saharan Africa.

Medical equipment counterfeit – a huge risk for quality healthcare, humanity
Counterfeit medical items are one of the biggest threats to quality healthcare. In fact, they go against everything quality healthcare stands for seeing as they often cause more harm to the patient than good. At JNCI, one of our core Values is “Value for Life”. This is why as an organisation, JNCI focuses on providing quality healthcare solutions, whilst ensuring that we partner with top manufacturers in the healthcare industry, to ensure that we provide quality solutions and help save lives.

Recipe for stemming the ugly trend
The stereotype answer to this would be “Choose JNCI”. But the truth is that it is beyond one brand. As a matter of fact, it is beyond the entire private sector in healthcare. Every stakeholder has to be onboard addressing the problem from government agencies and parastatals to the private sector and NGOs.

Other challenges
There are several challenges that come with doing business in this terrain, economic, regulatory, ethical. However, whilst we understand these challenges and try to be adaptable to changing circumstances, especially as they affect our stakeholders, we also live our core values – Quality, Value for Life, Integrity, Professionalism, Passion, whilst ensuring that we always maintain legal and regulatory standards.
