Ndụ Maternal-Fetal Care Center

5 - 10 YEAR PLAN FOR CREATING A MATERNAL-FETAL MEDICINE CLINIC IN LAGOS and ABIA STATE NIGERIA.

MISSION STATEMENT:

Our mission is to revolutionize maternal-fetal healthcare in Lagos, Nigeria by:

1. Providing expert preconception counseling for patients with infertility, medical conditions, and those pursuing IVF.
2. Empowering midwives through an ultrasound training program, enhancing their ability to assess pregnancy risks and determine appropriate delivery settings.
3. Leveraging cutting-edge artificial intelligence technology to screen for cardiomyopathies in obstetric patients, ensuring early detection and improved outcomes.

We are committed to bridging the gap between advanced maternal-fetal medicine practices and the Nigerian healthcare system, fostering a new era of accessible, high-quality prenatal and perinatal care.

In 2 Years:

Research and Networking:

• Market Analysis: Perform an in-depth market study on maternal-fetal healthcare needs in Lagos, including urban-rural disparities and specific challenges. This can help tailor your services.
• Build Strategic Alliances: Form alliances with government health agencies, local universities, and maternal healthcare advocates in Nigeria to build credibility and awareness.
• Diaspora Networks: Engage the Nigerian diaspora healthcare community to create awareness, gather support, and identify potential collaborators or co-investors.

Legal and Regulatory Preparation:

• Consult with Legal Experts: Hire a local legal consultant familiar with Nigerian healthcare regulations to streamline compliance.
• Early Registration: Consider initiating the registration process with the Nigerian Medical and Dental Council for foreign-trained doctors and medical practices.

Technology Assessment:

• Pilot Testing: Identify a small population in Atlanta or Nigeria to test the feasibility of AI-guided screening and digital stethoscope technology in maternal health.
• Telemedicine Exploration: Explore telemedicine platforms for potential integration into the MFM clinic to enable virtual consultations, especially for patients in rural areas.

Financial Planning:

• Detailed Financial Roadmap: Develop a comprehensive financial plan, including estimated costs for infrastructure, technology, and personnel. Begin considering investment partners.
• Early Funding Options: Explore international grants for maternal health, AI-based healthcare, and education programs, including those from NGOs or government agencies.

In 5 Years:

Curriculum Development:

• Accreditation: Collaborate with Nigerian health authorities to ensure your ultrasound school’s curriculum is accredited.
• Online Component: Create an online learning module for midwives who cannot attend in person, extending the reach of your ultrasound school.

Technology Partnerships:

• Custom AI Development: Partner with a Nigerian university or AI startup to co-develop and locally adapt AI solutions for obstetric cardiomyopathy screening, considering specific cultural and genetic factors.
• Data Collection: Start collecting anonymized data (with consent) to refine AI algorithms to fit local Nigerian health demographics.

Location Scouting:

• Facility Shared Spaces: Consider collaborating with existing healthcare facilities or university hospitals to share space initially, lowering startup costs.

Regulatory Compliance:

• Early Certification for Ultrasound School: Begin the process for formal certification of the ultrasound school. This includes creating standardized protocols and certifying instructors.

Continued Networking:

• Nigerian Health Ministry: Strengthen ties with Nigeria’s Federal Ministry of Health and regional Lagos authorities. Advocacy will help gain public trust and support.
• Leverage Local Influencers: Build relationships with healthcare influencers and respected leaders in Lagos to endorse your clinic and school.

In 8 Years:

Facility Preparation:

• Clinic and School as Centers of Excellence: Aim to position your clinic and school as regional centers of excellence in maternal-fetal care, with an eye toward regional expansion if successful.
• Establish Equipment Supply Chain: Work with international suppliers to secure high-quality, sustainable ultrasound and cardiology screening devices. Consider importing and setting up technology-friendly infrastructure.

Staff Recruitment:

• Mentorship and Training: Develop a mentoring program where Nigerian midwives and doctors trained at your clinic can become future instructors and leaders, ensuring a sustainable model.

Program Launch Preparation:

• Digital Integration: Build a mobile app for patient booking, health education, and follow-up, integrating AI-based risk assessments and preconception counseling.

Technology Implementation:

• Broader AI Application: Evaluate other AI-guided maternal health applications, like predictive analytics for preeclampsia or gestational diabetes, and gradually integrate them into your clinic.

Community Outreach:

• Public Health Campaigns: Partner with local media for awareness campaigns around maternal health and the benefits of AI in early detection.
• Cultural Competency Programs: Create culturally sensitive health promotion initiatives that resonate with local communities, addressing traditional practices and beliefs around childbirth and maternal care.

Transition Planning:

• Succession Planning: Ensure your Atlanta practice has leadership in place to allow for a smooth transition and possible collaborations between the US and Lagos.
• Phased Clinic Rollout: Consider launching the clinic and ultrasound school in phases, starting with preconception counseling and gradually adding more complex services like AI-guided screening.
