Interswitch Group, a leading name in Africa’s integrated payments and digital commerce landscape, has reaffirmed its dedication to healthcare innovation by sponsoring the 2025 Healthcare Federation of Nigeria (HFN) Annual Conference.
Held on February 27th and 28th at the Oriental Hotel in Lagos, this year’s event centered around the theme: “Expanding Access to Quality Healthcare: Transforming Nigeria through Innovation, Partnership, and Sustainability.” It brought together influential stakeholders from the healthcare ecosystem, including policymakers, industry leaders, healthcare professionals, and technology innovators.
The conference provided a vital forum for discussing the digital transformation of healthcare financing, the impact of technology on service delivery, and the importance of strategic partnerships for sustainable growth in the sector.
As a prominent player in digital payments, Interswitch presented its range of innovative healthcare solutions, such as eClinic—its electronic medical record suite—and health insurance management systems. The company also highlighted its secure digital payment platforms, which are designed to help healthcare providers enhance revenue collection, improve service delivery, and increase access to quality care.

By integrating digital solutions into healthcare administration and payments, Interswitch is enhancing service delivery, improving patient experiences, and promoting financial sustainability, solidifying its role as a catalyst for innovation in Nigeria’s healthcare landscape.
Through ongoing sponsorship and active engagement in key industry events like the HFN Conference, Interswitch continues to lead the charge in promoting digital adoption in healthcare, advancing financial inclusion, and fostering an ecosystem where technology benefits both healthcare providers and patients.
