 Dr. Richard Okoye has become an inspiration of hope for the Nigerian healthcare system, offering a much-needed solution to the long-standing challenges in the sector. At a time when many Nigerian elites are trooping to advanced countries in search of quality healthcare, Dr. Okoye has taken it upon himself to revolutionize the system by providing twenty-first-century health facilities right here in Nigeria. His efforts have not only restored hope but have also shown that world-class healthcare is possible in Nigeria.


As the founder and chairman of the Save A Life Group, Dr. Okoye leads a consortium of healthcare entities, including Save A Life Medisoft Limited, a software development company based in the USA, and a chain of ISO Certified Hospitals with a remarkable status of zero hospital-acquired infections. His latest accomplishment is the completion of the first fully digitalized hospital in Nigeria, equipped with state-of-the-art technology. This facility offers cutting-edge medical services such as a digital Cardiocare lab for heart, neuro, and cardiovascular diseases, kidney dialysis and transplant facilities, spine, and orthopedic surgeries, painless minimal neuro-plasma surgeries, and IVF treatments.


The digitalization of Dr. Okoye’s hospitals sets them apart from many in the country. Patients now benefit from streamlined processes, better decision-making, and automated services, all aimed at improving the quality of care. Similar to the advanced healthcare systems of Estonia, Denmark, Israel, and Canada, where digital health platforms have transformed healthcare delivery, Dr. Okoye has placed Nigeria on the map of digital hospitals. His facility offers remote diagnosis, video consultations, and electronic health records, which can be accessed and managed by both doctors and patients.


A digital health platform is more than just a technological advancement—it's a tool that can closely track healthcare policies for individuals and organizations. By using this platform, Nigerians can access quality healthcare services at their convenience, whether it’s for booking appointments online or reviewing their medical records. This innovative approach minimizes the need for physical hospital visits, saving time, stress, and costs associated with travel and logistics.


Dr. Richard Okoye's facility is indeed a world-class health institution, comparable to top hospitals in developed nations. By choosing his healthcare services, Nigerians not only ensure they receive the best possible medical attention, but they also avoid the exorbitant costs and stress of traveling abroad for treatment. His facility offers life-saving solutions while being financially viable, reducing unnecessary expenses and logistics.


With professionals like Dr. Okoye leading the charge in healthcare innovation, Nigeria’s health system is on the path to greatness. His work exemplifies how digital technologies, combined with medical expertise, can transform the future of healthcare in Nigeria. By patronizing his facility, Nigerians can contribute to and benefit from the ongoing progress in the healthcare sector, bringing the country one step closer to becoming a global leader in digital health.


Dr. Richard Okoye is not just building hospitals; he is building a legacy that will elevate Nigeria's healthcare standards to international levels. Through his unwavering commitment to excellence, Nigeria will indeed be great again. Written by Daniel Okonkwo for Profile International Human Rights Advocate

 THE ILLEGAL AND HEALTH RISKS OF CONSUMING CROCODILE MEAT IN NIGERIA: I thought you should know Eating suya is considered the ultimate African street food, particularly popular in countries like Nigeria. However, in recent times, some individuals have strayed from the norm, venturing into consuming endangered animals—a dangerous practice that can have serious legal consequences. In Nigeria, the consumption of grilled crocodile meat—or crocodile meat in any form—can land you in jail. Yes, you heard that correctly. The Nigerian government has sued individuals for killing and consuming crocodiles, citing violations of environmental and wildlife protection laws. In cities like Abuja and Lagos, there are numerous joints where crocodile meat is openly sold, often without the knowledge of customers regarding the dangers and legal risks involved. If you are caught buying or eating such meat by government enforcement agents, you could face arrest and prosecution. Importantly, ignorance of t...
 ARE COWS MORE VALUABLE THAN HUMANS IN NIGERIA? WHAT IS THE VALUE OF LIFE IN A NATION IN CRISIS — HOW MANY MORE MUST DIE? By Daniel Okonkwo In recent years, the value of human life in Nigeria has come under intense scrutiny, particularly due to the relentless attacks on farming communities, primarily in the Middle Belt and North-Central regions. The haunting question that continues to echo across local and international discourse is: Are cows more valuable than human beings in Nigeria? This question becomes even more unsettling when viewed through the lens of recurring, unprovoked attacks by armed herdsmen—mostly identified as Fulani militants—on rural communities. Headlines consistently portray the devastating impact of these attacks: “At least 21 killed in Nigeria after herdsmen attack villagers,” “At least 140 villagers killed by suspected herders,” and “On April 12, 2022, armed herdsmen attacked several villages in Benue State, killing over 25 people and injuring many more.” Th...

Security Chiefs, Do Your Job—Nigerians Are Dying: The Herders-Farmers Conflict Rooted in Land, Law, and Neglect

 Security Chiefs, Do Your Job—Nigerians Are Dying: The Herders-Farmers Conflict Rooted in Land, Law, and Neglect By Daniel Okonkwo For close to three decades, a brutal and persistent conflict has gripped Nigeria’s Middle Belt, with the state of Benue emerging as one of its bloodiest epicenters. What began as tensions between itinerant herders and local farmers has evolved into an entrenched humanitarian and security crisis. Despite Nigeria’s constitutional guarantees and land governance framework, the conflict continues to claim lives, displace communities, and erode the nation’s socio-political cohesion.  Why can't herders—like every other Nigerian—buy land or peacefully negotiate for grazing rights with host communities? Instead, there have been recurring reports of herders trespassing on farmland, destroying crops, and engaging in deadly confrontations with local populations. This crisis intensified during the previous administration and has escalated dramatically in recent...
