Olalekan Ojuko, the visionary behind 7thCare Technology, is spearheading a quiet revolution in the Nigerian healthcare space. As founder, CEO, and CTO of the health-tech company, Ojuko has committed his team to digitising hospitals and clinics across the country—at no upfront cost. “We provide the full technology stack—software, servers, even power solutions like inverters and solar systems—free of charge,” he explains.
Rather than a traditional sales model, 7thCare Technology operates on a revenue-sharing system. Hospitals keep their capital intact while 7thCare partners with them long-term, earning a percentage of their revenue in return for comprehensive tech support. The result is a collaborative ecosystem where healthcare institutions no longer need to worry about managing technology alone. “We don’t just hand over the tools—we stay involved, upgrading, customising, and responding to their ongoing tech needs,” says Ola.
The startup’s approach is proving effective. Currently, over 80% of partner hospitals receive solar and inverter systems through his organisation, eliminating reliance on unstable national power supplies. The company also installs local servers to keep hospital data safe and accessible, all while enhancing patient record management and improving operational efficiency.
Ola describes 7thCare not just as a service provider, but as a partner embedded within the fabric of each hospital’s operations. “We automate processes, we provide real-time tech support, and we stay flexible with our software so each hospital can evolve on its own terms,” he says. This holistic model is already making waves, especially in underserved and semi-urban communities.
As the company continues to scale, it is drawing attention from both the tech and healthcare sectors for its practical, sustainable approach to healthcare digitisation. “We’re proving that innovation doesn’t always need to be expensive,” says Ojuko. “It just needs to be built on partnership and trust.”
