The Federal Medical Centre, Keffi, last Friday said it has introduced a Smart Clinic to tackle the queueing system being faced by its patients.

Head of Public Relations and Protocol Unit of the FMC Keffi, Miss Esther Bature, disclosed this in a statement.

Bature explained that the  new Smart Clinic paying system would improve the already existing paperless policy which would combat the delay being experienced at the hospital’s pay points.

She continued that the new paying system would as well improve the hospital’s excellent services in the areas of Cardiology, Gynaecology, Pediatrics, Dialysis and VIP Clinic.

“In a bid to improve its services, management of the Federal Medical Center, Keffi, under the leadership of the Medical Director, Dr. Yahaya Baba Adamu, has introduced a new paying system to improve the already existing paperless policy which will combat the delay experience at the hospital’s pay points.

“The new paying system will as well improve the hospital’s excellent services in the areas of Cardiology, Gynaecology, Pediatrics, Dialysis and VIP Clinic,” Bature said.

The Head of Public Relations and Protocol Unit explained further that the Smart Clinic would be responsible for creating wallet, which would be accompanied by s Smart Card through which deposits would be made and used for paying bills within the hospital.

“This 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,” she assured.
