Barely one week after raising awareness about the cardiovascular heart disease that kills rapidly, a leading healthcare system company has proffered a solution to the dreaded ailment.
A report by the Philips in partnership with the World Heart Federation (WHF) had shown that disease is the leading cause of death worldwide, with over 17.5 million losing their lives in 2015 alone, while it also added that about 55 percent of Nigerians were ignorant of the disease.
But, the company, during the Medic West Africa conference in Lagos, revealed a portfolio of data driven technologies that could help with early diagnosis and treatment.
In a chat with NAIJ.com on Thursday, George Udukwu, the business development manager of the company revealed that cardiovascular heart disease is the leading cause of death globally, many times these are preventable in a certain way.
“We see that the level of awareness in terms of healthy living is reaching an unprecedented level. Within our company, we are putting the right technology in the hands of the people to take control of their health. Make the right decisions and take care of themselves.

“Our approach is what we call the continuum of care approach. That means that we have solutions that are relevant across the various continuum of care; from healthy living to prevention, to diagnosis and treatment. These solutions are all connected and they are integrated,” he explained.
Asked how an average man could access the healthcare facilities, Udukwu noted that, “it’s not for specific people, it’s for everyone. We say there are people behind all the innovations that we have. We care about the patients and how they feel using our equipment.
