Most health institutions in Nigeria face major challenges in terms of their digitalization efforts. The use of paper forms, shortage of experienced personnel, lack of planning, and high cost of digitization are some of the problems identified. Similarly, paper documents can get damaged due to ageing, colour alteration, insects, dirt stains etc. thus there is a need for digitalization for maximum productivity and efficiency.

Research shows that some of the limitations towards the adoption of digitalization includes:

• Inadequate funding
• Computer phobia
• Lack of technical expertise
• Inadequate technology infrastructure
• Technological obsolescence

Vetsark intends to fund and support the digitization of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine Teaching Hospital for the purpose of making its activities easier, faster and more productive.
