Wema Health Connect 24/7 is a telemedicine service that was developed in collaboration between Wema Bank and Health Connect. The goal of this service is to help people get access to basic medical care.
WEMA Health Connect 24/7 lets customers talk to a doctor and get medical care 24 hours a day, seven days a week if they want to.
In response to the launch of the project, the bank’s Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Mr Ademola Adebise, said, “This new digital platform shows that Wema Bank is still committed to coming up with new ways to help customers live easier lives”.
“WEMA Health Connect is readily available to all Wema and ALAT customers at any time at a discounted rate,” and “even non-customers can be easily onboarded via a single landing page or the ALAT app.” “All Wema and ALAT customers have easy access to WEMA Health Connect at any time.”
He went on to say that the service will make it possible for consumers to receive their first medical treatment before being admitted to the on-site hospital for further care.

Wema launched this program to help reduce the difficulties experienced by its customers in getting medical assistance
As a result of the difficulties presented by COVID-19, patients have expressed a wish to receive medical assistance in an expedient and straightforward manner rather than by going to the hospital. The process of prescribing drugs, lab tests, and imaging investigations will be made easier with the help of Wema Health Connect.
“Patients can receive notification of progress in fulfilling their prescriptions in addition to receiving results and reports from laboratories and imaging centers, including critical images,” he said. “Patients can also receive notification of progress in fulfilling their prescriptions.”
Adebise went on to say, “The WEMA Health Connect has many benefits for subscribers, such as access to a doctor for unlimited medical consultations by calling the toll-free number; access to affordable healthcare at the click of a button; honest and ethical medical advice based on evidence; access 24 hours a day, seven days a week on smartphone and non-smartphone devices; prenatal and postnatal wellness; and wellness lectures and workshops.”
The program, among other things, gives trustworthy medical and wellness advice and helps people who are healthy and people who are having sudden or long-term problems.
The researcher said that “it also helps to facilitate medical appointments, the delivery of medication, and laboratory services.” Patients with mental health problems like depression, anxiety disorders, substance dependence, low self-esteem, suicidal thoughts or actions, eating disorders, compulsive behaviour, or need to learn how to be assertive and manage their emotions can also get help through this service.
Also commenting on the relationship with WEMA Bank, the Head of Sales and Marketing for Health Connect 24-7, Vincent Ezeora, said the following: “It has been HealthConnect247’s objective to provide high-quality, accessible, and affordable healthcare to every Nigerian.
