FOR Nigerians who can afford it, seeking medical attention abroad is routine. No thanks to them, health professionals within the medical industry in the United Kingdom, United States of America, Germany, and increasingly, South Africa and India, are smiling to the banks.

For Nigeria to reverse this ugly trend, and position itself to achieve Vision 20:20:20 and the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), the establishment of good healthcare delivery system is non-negotiable.

No doubt, a number of factors have hampered the rapid growth of the countrys healthcare system, range from inadequate facilities/infrastructure, shortage of personnel, Information system, inadequate training and high illiteracy rate among the people, power (electricity) and bandwidth. However, in some parts of the world, telemedicine has been used to overcome these challenges.

Over the past few years, efforts have been made by the government to address these challenges. In line with the Declaration of the Alma-Ata in 1978 which highlights health as the most important world-wide social good and the United Nations 2000 Declaration of the Millennium Development Goals, Nigeria has been striving to harness its resources to achieve efficient and functional healthcare for its people.

It’s the latest buzz word in mobile communications. Machine-to-Machine or M2M is referred to as a technology that enables both wireless and wired systems to communicate with a host of devices and applications, thereby making sense of the information relayed. This is accomplished through the use of telemetry, which is the language machines use when communicating with each other.

With a 850 million cellphone customer-base and home to some of the largest telcos in the world, new areas are opening up in the Indian telecom sector. Telit Communications, recently made its foray in the country by opening its India operations. The company is betting on the Indian M2M market and will market M2M modules which enable machines, devices and vehicles to communicate via wireless networks. Apart from telecom, M2M is expected to impact various verticals like automotive telematics, healthcare, transportation and logistics, manufacturing, point of sale, retail and other vertical. However, in the medium term beyond utilities and finance verticals, it is expected to grow in the tracking and security segments. A main draw in the M2M space is the 25 billion IP-connected devices by 2015, which has made companies like Cisco to jump into the M2M fray.

According to the independent wireless analyst firm Berg Insight, the number of M2M connections will grow to 187 million by 2014. Additionally, a study from the E-Plus Group showed that in 2010, 2.3 million M2M SIM-cards were available in the German market and this is slated to reach over 5 million SIM-cards in 2013. Telit’s GSM/GPRS modules are currently used by many AMR and fleet management product manufacturers in the country. For example, the AMR implementation in power transmission & distribution systems is to make it more efficient and financially viable to enable accurate baseline data collection over the wireless communication using the M2M modules.

The year 2009 was of significance for this nascent vertical. AT&T and Jasper Wireless entered into an agreement to both support the creation of M2M devices jointly. Further, they have stated that they will be trying to further connections between consumer electronics and M2M wireless networks, which would create a boost in speed, connectivity, and overall power of such devices.
