INTRODUCTION TO OHSM HEALTH INFORMATION DIGEST
We, the management and staff of Occupational Health and Safety Managers (OHSM) want to use this opportunity to thank everyone for the co-operation with our medical team in making the Apapa Clinic functional and engaging. We are excited about this and it gives us further boost in our collective desire towards maintaining global best standards in healthcare practice.
The new global approach to healthcare is “right health information for the right population”, which has yielded results across many regions of the world. In our strategy towards upholding preventive health approaches to Medicine, we will be adopting this style by creating health information traffic within the user-group in Apapa Clinic population. The level of health information an individual has at his/her disposal is capable of influencing healthy behavioural decisions and lifestyle changes which ultimately culminate into improved and healthy behavioural pattern leading to good health outcomes capable of reducing hospital visits, absenteeism, increased productivity and personal fulfilment afterwards.
