Engr. Taofiq Timothy Belo-Osagie, from the ICT Unit, has proven to be an invaluable member of UBTH since joining in 2021. He has consistently demonstrated exceptional technical skills and a strong commitment to excellence in every task he undertakes.
Currently serving as the Head of the A&E ICT Unit, Engr. Taofiq has played a pivotal role in the digital transformation of services at the new Accident and Emergency complex, notably through the implementation of the UBTH Rapid MEDCHART—a web-based Electronic Medical Records (EMR) system operational in all clinics in the hospital.

i. Enhanced operational efficiency
ii. Real-time data access, promoting seamless communication between medical records officers, paramedics, nurses, and doctors
iii. Improved patient safety and ensuring accurate treatment tracking
