Free Medical Missions in Abia State, Nigeria

We bring health checks, consultations and free medicines to communities with limited access to care.

MEDICAL MISSIONS

Bringing Care Directly to the Community

For many families in rural Abia State, reaching a clinic and paying for medicine is a real challenge. Our medical missions bring care to them. Working with local health workers, we set up a free outreach where children and adults can be checked, get advice and receive the medicines they need.

Our first medical outreach took place in December 2019 in Ekenobizi Umuopara, Umuahia South L.G.A., Abia State. Families came for health checks, consultations and medicines, and many also took home a Bucket of Love with essentials.

HOW IT WORKS

Planned Together With the Community

Each outreach is planned with local partners. We choose a central location, such as a community health center, gather medicines and supplies, and bring volunteers and health workers together for the day.

People register when they arrive, see a health worker and receive medicines before they leave. Many of the people who come are elders and mothers with young children, who often have the hardest time reaching care.

Medical Mission Questions

Who can come to a medical outreach?

Our outreach days are open to members of the community, including children, adults and elders. We work with local leaders and health workers to let families know when and where the outreach will take place.

Is the care really free?

Yes. Health checks, consultations and medicines at our outreach days are provided at no cost to patients, thanks to our donors.

Do you need medical volunteers?

Yes. We welcome doctors, nurses, pharmacists and other health professionals who want to support future outreach. Fill out our volunteer form and tell us about your experience.

Can I donate medicines or medical supplies?

Please contact us before sending any items. In many cases a financial gift goes further, because we can buy medicines locally and avoid shipping costs.
