Determined to technologically address the burden of orthopaedic trauma in Nigeria, IfeanHealth, a US-founded Health Tech company, has entered a strategic partnership with Nigerian Orthopaedic Association to boost prosthetics care.
For a decade, IfeanHealth has been an active participant in the NOA conference, progressively elevating its presence. This year, however, the brand went above and beyond, setting a new standard by branding the conference podium and expanding its booth to display cutting-edge prosthetic solutions in partnership with Ottobock.
Speaking at the 2024 edition of the Nigerian Orthopaedic Association (NOA) Conference in Enugu recently, Chijioke Ahamefula, brand and marketing director at IfeanHealth, emphasized the importance of not only providing high-quality prosthetics, but also offering emotional support to patients who face the trauma of amputation.
According to Ahamefula, this personalized approach to prosthetic care focuses on patient rehabilitation, offering customized solutions that help patients regain mobility while also supporting their mental well-being during recovery.
He said the brand’s message is clear as it’s about empowering patients to live fuller lives post-amputation, adding that this can be achieved by elevating patient-centric care through the collaborative innovation of professionals at Nigerian Orthopaedic Association.
Ejike Anih, founder of IfeanHealth, expressed the brand’s dedication to growing steadily and increasing its impact across Nigeria and beyond.
Anih said the goal of the company is to continue expanding its capacity and building impactful partnerships that will enable it to continue to deliver optimal patient outcomes.
He said IfeanHealth recognises its growth and potential to help address the burden of orthopaedic trauma in Nigeria through collaboration with health centers and orthopaedic professionals.
He further said that by focusing on synergistic partnerships with orthopaedic surgeons and rehabilitation centers, IfeanHealth aims to establish long-lasting collaborations that will result in improved care for trauma victims and greater access to prosthetics and orthotics solutions across Nigeria.
“In line with its patient-first approach, IfeanHealth continues to expand its reach across Nigeria. With branches in Lagos, Delta, Kano, and Enugu, the brand is making strides in offering accessible and specialized prosthetics care to more people in need,” he added.
Syndey Ibeanusi, president of the Nigerian Orthopaedics Association, commended IfeanHealth for its outstanding contribution to the field, noting the brand’s consistent dedication to advancing the industry.
He noted that each year, the conference brings together leading orthopaedic surgeons, prosthetists and allied healthcare professionals to discuss advancements and challenges in the field.
During the conference, Rufai Ahmad, Registrar/CEO of the Medical Rehabilitation Therapists Board of Nigeria (MRTB) toured IfeanHealth’s Competence Center in Enugu and praised the sophistication of the facility.
He emphasized the importance of sharing patient success stories to inspire hope and demonstrate the real-world impact of prosthetics on people’s lives.
This conference was different as IfeanHealth’s displayed its unwavering commitment to innovative patient care and collaboration.
IfeanHealth’s booth was an immersive experience designed to engage the diverse range of orthopaedic professionals. Visitors were greeted by an interactive foldable golf course, a relaxing coffee shop, and ample space for discussing innovations.
The booth wasn’t only about showcasing technology it was about fostering meaningful connections with attendees and making the conference an unforgettable experience.
Another key highlight of IfeanHealth’s presence at the conference was its strategic partnerships with leading figures in orthopaedics.
