Founded in Nigeria, 7thCare Technology has its eyes set firmly on the global stage. What began as a local solution to hospital inefficiencies is fast becoming a model for international health-tech collaboration. The upcoming launch of its Anonymize Care app in Canada is the company’s first step toward worldwide expansion.
According to founder Olalekan Ojuko, the goal is to replicate the success of 7th Care’s hospital digitization model in other parts of Africa, as well as Asia and South America. “Health challenges are universal, and so are the barriers to access. Our technology is built to be flexible, scalable, and culturally sensitive,” he says.
The company’s model—which includes offering software, hardware, and renewable energy at no upfront cost in exchange for revenue sharing—has already proven successful across a wide range of healthcare institutions. Now, the team is looking to adapt that approach for different healthcare systems and regulatory environments globally.
Meanwhile, the 1. Nigerian Startup Revolutionises Hospital Digitisation with Free Tech Support
Ola, the visionary behind 7thCare Technology, is spearheading a quiet revolution in the Nigerian healthcare space. As founder, CEO, and CTO of the health-tech company, Ojuko has committed his team to digitising hospitals and clinics across the country—at no upfront cost. “We provide the full technology stack—software, servers, even power solutions like inverters and solar systems—free of charge,” he explains.
Rather than a traditional sales model, 7thCare Technology operates on a revenue-sharing system. Hospitals keep their capital intact while 7thCare partners with them long-term, earning a percentage of their revenue in return for comprehensive tech support. The result is a collaborative ecosystem where healthcare institutions no longer need to worry about managing technology alone. “We don’t just hand over the tools—we stay involved, upgrading, customising, and responding to their ongoing tech needs,” says Ola.
The startup’s approach is proving effective. Currently, over 80 per cent of partner hospitals receive solar and inverter systems through his organisation, eliminating reliance on unstable national power supplies. The company also installs local servers to keep hospital data safe and accessible, all while enhancing patient record management and improving operational efficiency.
Ola describes 7thCare not just as a service provider, but as a partner embedded within the fabric of each hospital’s operations. “We automate processes, we provide real-time tech support, and we stay flexible with our software so each hospital can evolve on its own terms,” he says. This holistic model is already making waves, especially in underserved and semi-urban communities.
As the company continues to scale, it is drawing attention from both the tech and healthcare sectors for its practical, sustainable approach to healthcare digitisation. “We’re proving that innovation doesn’t always need to be expensive,” says Ojuko. “It just needs to be built on partnership and trust.”
