NigeriaLack of inclusion of

LGBTQI+ individuals in thehealthcare service

delivery in Nigeria; Digitalhealth as a solution

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tbghW72SB14


LGBTQI individuals in Nigeria are especiallyvulnerable to discrimination in healthcare, from

humiliation and harassment to denial ofnecessary medical care. To avoid mistreatment,LGBTQIA+ people delay and sometimes forgomedical care, increasing their risk of furtherphysical and mental health conditions like

depression, chronic diseases, substance use,and suicidality. In my story, we hear from the

LGBTQI community how digital health could helpprovide them with important health information

and reduce the discrimination they face. Grace IsongAkpanSocial Worker

I held conversations with my peers andrealized they were going through somany physical and emotional healthchallenges and didn't have enough

psychological support at theirdisposal. So I imagined a heath

application that my peers and otheryoung people can use in the comfort

of their homes and in all confidentialityto seek the support they need.

Using interactive theatreperformances to

empower young peopleto access information onreproductive health on

their mobile phones

This idea was inspired by the recentincrease in teenage pregnancy cases in

Ghana. One of the many causes ofteenage pregnancy in Ghana is the lackof timely and accessible information for

young people. So my story focuses on howmy team and I use interactive theatreperformances to show teenagers howthey can access reproductive health

information and services via mobile healthapplications.

Inequitable access to health servicesbetween rural and urban India inspired my

story. We are currently working on deployingdigital ECG machines at Primary and

Community health centers across India. Thiswill provide access to ECG and specialistdoctors at the peripheries. We are in the

process of deploying over 100 machines inthe next month which will provide access to

almost 3 million people in rural areas.

social media for youthmental well-being, which

tend to be rarely discussedin the mental health space

For me, digital health is not onlyabout cutting-edge technology and

gadgets that facilitate medicalcare, but also the many ways in

which everyday technologies affectour health more holistically. Digitaltechnologies are a determinant ofhealth that impacts everyone, and

these impacts are highly contextual.

The struggles immigrants and other nativeshave to go through to get health care in

different countries due to inaccessible healthhistory, language barrier, the wrong

diagnosis inspired my idea. My story imaginesa digital health application, where all my

medical history is stored. I can then share thisinformation with any health worker who can

access accurate medical records andprovide me with the correct diagnosis.

Tanvi NairContent & StrategyManager

Experiences of women around me, myfriends, colleagues, acquaintances, mine

too. While social media is wonderfullyused as a tool for networking, connectionand business, the mental health impact on

women in India has largely goneunaddressed. It is only fair that we bring

to thr forefront, stories and experiences ofthese women to a global platform.
