Today, we are here to witness the success of that resolve鈥�, she said.
The Ag. Director of the Centre for Information Technology and Systems (CITS), Dr. (Mrs) Florence Oladeji, was also on hand to speak about the design, development, and deployment of the application.聽 She took the audience through all the usage points of the application at the Medical Centre and used a patient to demonstrate its operations.

In his words: 鈥淚 am glad about this development. It is proof that when we all work together, we can achieve great things. I also want you to remember that everyone has the capacity to contribute to the progress of the 大香蕉视频. It is not only for the Vice-Chancellor or the Management.

Jointly developed by the Medical Centre and the Centre for Information Technology and Systems (CITS), the e-records system is a web-based application that will enable patients of the Medical Centre to have access to quick and efficient health care service. The collection and safe keeping of medical records, and the easy sharing of these records among medical personnel are some of the advantages of the new system.
