Doktorconnect is a health-tech company on a mission to make routine preventive health checks and telemedicine services more accessible and affordable to Nigerians. The company has partnered with Carbon to offer Buy Now, Pay Later services. This partnership enables users to access the care they need without worrying about their wallet size.

In Nigeria, two of the top 10 causes of death (Ischemic heart disease, and stroke) are caused by chronic diseases that can be managed effectively if discovered early. Unfortunately, for most Nigerians, early detection is a luxury that depends on their pockets. This has contributed to the rise in stroke incidents, kidney failure, and heart attacks among Nigerians. However, with this partnership, the situation is about to change. 

According to Adewale Osideinde, Country Manager, Doktorconnect, “This partnership is about saving lives. No one should have to go through pain or death just because of the size of their bank account. We want Nigerians to enjoy the benefits of preventive healthcare and be around much longer to live their dreams and be there for their loved ones.”

This innovative partnership recognizes the utility of credit in opening up the healthcare sector to more Nigerians. One thing is clear, wherever you are on the socio-economic ladder, the opportunity to access quality health services via credit facilities, with 0% interest is an amazing one that must be grabbed with both hands.

“We believe this should appeal to a larger audience than we already have, as we are well aware that the Nigerian market is very familiar and open to the Buy Now Pay Later model. We hope to help Nigerians access the comprehensive healthcare offerings from Doktorconnect’s – Carbon
