Lagos State health system reforms

Entities: Lagos State · Prof. Akin Abayomi · Lagos Digital Health Innovation · Lagos State Police Command · Lagos State Government

Overview

In late July 2026, the Lagos State government launched the Lagos Digital Health Innovation competition and began deploying the Lagos Smart Health Information Platform (SHIP), reaching about 30 % of public facilities with plans to extend to the private sector. The rollout was paired with a five‑year Blood Screening and Certification Concession Agreement that requires all donated blood to be tested for HIV, hepatitis B, hepatitis C and syphilis.

In early August 2026, the Lagos State Police Command met with the Lagos State Health Service Commission to devise security enhancements for hospitals and other health facilities. The collaboration is intended to protect medical personnel, patients and health‑care infrastructure, reinforcing the broader push to strengthen Lagos’s health system.
