Nigeria Medical and Surgical Outreach

Access to health care is becoming a huge burden on Nigerian citizens especially those in rural areas and the poor. The high poverty rate and lack of health insurance, and medical personnel are leaving the country in droves worsening medical care to Nigerians, especially rural healthcare workers.

Humanity First Nigeria mobilized volunteers to set up a medical camp for seven days in Akinware Village.
