Our mission is to be a charitable organization that provides access to needed healthcare in underserved populations, especially in rural southeastern Nigeria. We hope to provide a niche that closes the gaps in service in these areas. With local and foreign partners, we hope to provide advanced healthcare options in our target community. We are seeking to provide a scientific environment for training local clinicians through partnerships with African clinicians in Diaspora in specialist areas of disease prevention, and disease management with the use of advanced technologies.
Our vision is to bring affordable advanced medical healthcare to stem the flow of medical tourism for complex diseases in our target community.

Infants die at a rate of 72.45/1000, and children under five die at a rate of 113/1000. Malaria accounts for 27% of the global burden, and HIV/AIDS constitutes 3.2%.
