Patient care at a leading digital hospital in Lagos, Southwest Nigeria, has been significantly enhanced and transformed as part of efforts to check medical tourism abroad.
This advancement is thanks to the adoption of cutting-edge technology and a seamless transition to digital operations.
Simultaneously, a growing awareness among Lagos residents about the risks of self-medication, particularly for conditions like typhoid and malaria, has led to a surge in hospital visits for precise diagnosis and treatment.
This increased demand for services has underscored the importance of efficient data management, with the SanDisk Extreme Portable SSD proving to be an indispensable tool in the digital evolution.
Exceptional Speed for High-Demand Departments
In departments like Radiology and Diagnostic Labs, where large files such as CT scans, MRIs, and X-rays are generated daily, speed is non-negotiable.
The SanDisk Extreme Portable SSD, with read speeds of up to 1050MB per second and write speeds up to 1000MB per second, has drastically cut down our file access and transfer times.
Radiologists can now retrieve and share images within seconds, significantly improving diagnostic turnaround time.
Reliable Support for Hospital IT Systems
Our IT department manages extensive electronic health records (EHR) and patient data that require secure, rapid backups and access.
The SanDisk SSD supports this with NVMe solid state performance, delivering smooth operation even under heavy loads.
The result: improved system efficiency, reduced downtime, and a more responsive care environment.
Available in Multiple Storage Sizes
The SanDisk Extreme Portable SSD is available in 500GB, 1TB, 2TB, 4TB, and 8TB capacities, offering flexibility depending on departmental needs.
For instance, our diagnostic imaging unit uses the 2TB version to handle multiple patient files and high-resolution images with ease.
The 1TB version is ideal for administrative use and EHR backups and this is also shared with the mobile diagnostics or emergency response teams.
Portability, Durability & Security in a Clinical Environment
This SSD is not only compact and lightweight, but also rugged, making it ideal for hospital use.
Its IP65 water and dust resistance, along with shock resistance (up to two-meter drops), ensures reliability across departments.
Security is also covered with 256-bit AES hardware encryption, helping us maintain compliance with data privacy regulations.
In a healthcare facility like ours that serves one of Africa’s most populous cities, the SanDisk Extreme Portable SSD is more than just a storage tool: it’s a critical enabler of fast, secure, and modern healthcare delivery.
From radiology to IT, its performance and versatility are helping us meet the growing needs of patients with confidence and efficiency.
