t is our pleasure to introduce the Health Plans of GMD Healthcare Limited to you. Our Health Plans have evolved to fill the gap that exists in the Managed Healthcare market to deliver great quality healthcare that meet the customers' expectation. Our ability to provide quality care rests mainly in our unique model of Health Maintenance Organization called an IPA or Independent Providers Association.    We are the first to implement the IPA model of HMO in Nigeria. Managed Healthcare is not altogether new in Nigeria. It is a means of providing comprehensive healthcare to defined groups of individuals, families, and employees under a fixed payment arrangement over a period of time.    The payment is an insurance premium paid per head per annum and covers the provision of defined healthcare needs (otherwise called Benefit Package). It provides real value to the healthcare consumer (and payer) since it combines lowered costs with high quality, two often desired attributes that has traditionally moved in opposite directions. In addition, the pre-paid nature allows for better healthcare budgeting unlike the fee-for-service system where the budget is more difficult to determine because of its open-ended nature. Our Health Plan provides the best incentives for the healthcare providers to render the best possible care to the enrolled population because of shared ownership.    One of the greatest challenges of Managed Care in Nigeria, which negatively impact the quality of care received, is the lack of proper alignment of the needs and expectations of the provider network (i.e. hospitals and clinics through which the HMO provide care) with that of the Health Maintenance Organization thus creating a dichotomy for which the enrollees and the payers pay dearly for in poor quality service and the attendant danger to lives.    The IPA on the other hand creates a seamless flow of service from the HMO to the network of providers. This is made possible essentially because of the shared ownership of the network and the HMO.

Chi Pharmaceuticals is regarded as the number one pharmaceutical distribution company in Nigeria. This is largely accounted for by her extensive and professional distribution networks all over Nigeria, as well for both Human and Veterinary Pharmaceutical products. The growth in terms of sales, productrange and staffnumber has been exponential, with great prospects. Chi Pharmaceutical has a large team of well trained Pharmacists to promote and detail our products into the medical sector.    Through our network of our own depots we are able to ensure a good distribution of our productrange all over Nigeria. We represent several first class Pharmaceutical companies (see Agencies and Products) and we have our own range of multivitamins in the market under the brand - Supramult

Knowing what healthcare requires and the primary aim of a hospital being ''patient care'', it's needful for hospitals to see Clinical Engineering (CE) as a business unit whose services are defined by the scope of the hospital's mission.   CE conducts both scheduled activities – performance assurance and preventive maintenance and unscheduled activities, including pre-purchase evaluation of products and services, repair and emergency response.   The level of skill required to deliver these service is determined by the level of care delivered in a hospital. The more complex the care, the greater the required skill set.   As long as people get ill and injured, there will be doctors. And as long as clinical devices break down and wear out, there will be equipment service people. Right? Then, the question goes - WHO IS GOING TO MAINTAIN/FIX YOUR MEDICAL EQUIPMENT? When an equipment breaks down, the first thing that comes to mind is "WHO IS TO FIX IT?" The pressure mounted by the beneficiaries of the equipment often make the user (the operator or the management) to reach out to the nearby technician or engineer, forgetting to ask the question "WHAT TYPE OF EQUIPMENT IS TO BE FIXED?" The inability of making these distinctions has led to many equipment being damaged beyond repair. Doctors and Nurses are to diseases as Engineers and Technicians are to equipment faults.    The type of disease and where it affects tells the type of doctor(s) to consult, likewise the type of fault and equipment tells the type of engineer or technician to consult. A disease in a human being is taken to a human doctor, while the same type of disease in an animal is taken to a veterinary doctor. In like manner, a fault in communication equipment is taken to a communication engineer.    You may ask, ''what's unique about Healthcare, compared with say, broadcasts (e.g. radio, video, television, etc) and computer? Here is the answer – Healthcare requires specialization, the existing quality standards and the emphasis on cost efficiency. The equipment is more complex.    Everything must be perfect, because people's lives and well-being are on the line. If you have a spot or a blemish on television CRT, it is nowhere near as critical as it would be if the tube were to be used for some medical applications (e.g. Ultrasonography).
