The Know Your Number; Control Your Number Campaign is a landmark national initiative aimed at screening 10 million Nigerians for non-communicable diseases (NCDs), with a primary focus on hypertension and diabetes. Led by the Federal Ministry of Health and Social Welfare in partnership with state governments and development partners, it represents one of Nigeria’s most ambitious efforts to advance preventive care, improve early diagnosis, and close critical gaps in chronic disease management.
Isuna played a pivotal role in building the campaign’s digital backbone. Our team designed and deployed custom, mobile-friendly screening tools utilized by health teams nationwide, ensuring real-time, secure, and efficient data collection at the point of care. Furthermore, we developed the centralized digital platform for aggregating and managing this screening data, empowering state, federal, and program-level stakeholders to make informed, data-driven decisions at every stage of the initiative.
The system captures comprehensive demographic and clinical data, including blood pressure, blood sugar levels, lifestyle indicators, and treatment history. This robust data architecture allows the program to accurately identify high-risk populations, regional disparities, and critical care gaps. Early insights from states like Osun have already revealed a high prevalence of elevated blood sugar, particularly among older adults and urban residents, underscoring the urgent need to scale access to care. The data has also uncovered vital behavioral trends, such as gender-based differences in disease burden and low adherence to diabetes treatment protocols.
A cornerstone of Isuna’s digital infrastructure for this project is a national, public-facing NCD registry that visualizes prevalence and screening outcomes across various regions and demographics. This registry serves as a vital tool for policy development, strategic planning, and public accountability, reflecting our commitment to building transparent, scalable, and impactful health information systems.
By powering the digital infrastructure of this campaign, Isuna is helping to reshape how non-communicable diseases are detected and managed in Nigeria. This initiative advances our core mission to deliver smart, human-centered digital solutions that strengthen health systems and drive measurable, lasting change for millions of citizens.
