Dr. Leo Stan Ekeh, Nigeria’s foremost serial digital entrepreneur and Chairman of Zinox Group, has reaffirmed his faith in divine grace, and the power of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and innovation to attain longevity aspiration.

ConsumerConnect reports Dr. Ekeh stated this during a recent visit to Save A Life Mission Hospital, a health institution based in Port-Harcourt, Rivers State capital, that has redefined medical standards in Nigeria.

He noted that the health facility has captured the attention and admiration with several of its world-class standards and innovative integration of technology into healthcare delivery in the West African country.

Speaking to reporters during his visit to Save A Life Mission Hospital, the Chairman of Zinox Group, disclosed that on the invitation of Dr. Richard Okoye, he had tried to schedule a visit for over two years but was constrained by time.

Ekeh stated: “When I finally stepped in, I knew this was no ordinary hospital.

“Once you enter, you find an ecosystem built on innovation, technology, and passion for saving lives.”

He also asserted: “With innovative ideas from hospitals like Save A Life, AI and God, I am confident I will live up to 120 years.”

Explaining the rationale for his optimism to live long, he declared: “I live a healthy lifestyle and hardly fall ill.

“However, my experience today has profoundly strengthened my belief that our nation (Nigeria) possesses global capacity to define its future, all while trusting in God.”

Ekeh’s commendation for Save A Life Mission Hospital regarding it’s operations was unequivocal.

Despite acknowledging that exterior of the health facility might not immediately reflect its capabilities, the serial digital entrepreneur emphasised that the interior of the hospital features world-class technology and medical equipment that rival international standards.

Ekeh further noted: “This hospital operates with an integrated database system, and competes favourably with global healthcare institutions.”

He stressed that the facility is committed to technological excellence in the health sector of the economy.

Save A Life Mission Hospital is regarded as one of Nigeria’s foremost digitally advanced healthcare institutions. While several other health facilities across Nigeria still depend on conventional practices, it is noted that Dr. Richard C. Okoye, Chairman of Save A Life Group, has designed a hospital fully powered by technology.

According to Zinox Group Chief, every detail, from patient records to diagnostics, is integrated into a seamless digital database, ensuring accuracy, efficiency, and reliability comparable with top hospitals in Europe and America.

Ekeh, therefore, described Dr. Okoye as a “miracle doctor”, not simply because of his medical expertise, but for his unwavering commitment to solving Nigeria’s healthcare challenges through innovation.

The hospital’s digital systems can improve health outcomes by over 60 percent while eliminating inefficiencies that drive some Nigerians abroad for medical care, Ekeh said.

According to him, Okoye has consistently emphasised that the future of healthcare in Nigeria requires more than building physical infrastructure: it demands the digitalisation of healthcare solutions.

True to his philosophy, Dr. Okoye has moved beyond rhetoric to action.

His company has developed groundbreaking health technology tools that are revolutionising healthcare delivery across the country.

His team has developed digital tools that replicate the expertise of key healthcare professionals, including doctors, nurses, pharmacists, lab scientists, radiologists, and physiotherapists.

It is equally observed that such innovations could deliver comprehensive healthcare solutions while cutting down on time they spend on routine cases, enabling them to devote greater attention to research and critical medical priorities.

Among the hospital’s cutting-edge innovations is a digital sugar level monitoring system.

This tool tracks a patient’s glucose levels and sends instant alerts to consultants for timely intervention.

What makes these innovations particularly remarkable is their accessibility and cultural sensitivity.

They function effectively in rural areas with limited or no medical doctors and unreliable power supply. Furthermore, they operate in major Nigerian languages, including Yoruba, Igbo and Hausa, as the facility ensures that language barriers don’t prevent Nigerian consumers from accessing quality healthcare.

Ekeh’s visit reinforced his belief in Nigeria’s untapped potential, the Group stated.

Ekeh also asserted: “Nigerians can lead anywhere in the world.”

He emphasised that with common sense and technology, the country possesses all the capacity needed for success.

His optimism extends to his personal longevity expectations, believing he will witness Nigeria’s transformation into a thriving nation during his anticipated 120-year lifespan.

Save A Life Mission Hospital embodies more than a medical facility; it represents a blueprint for the future of healthcare in Nigeria, Ekeh said.

Under Dr. Okoye’s visionary guidance, the health facility stands as the country’s foremost digitalised hospital, proving that world-class medical services are both achievable and sustainable right in Nigeria.

He noted this pioneering model serves as a compelling call to action in Nigeria.

Ekeh, therefore, urged corporate organisations, Federal, state, and local governments to partner with Save A Life Group to deliver more quality, cost-efficient healthcare to citizens nationwide.
