See a doctor
You do not need an appointment to be seen. Come to the hospital and the team will check you, explain what they find, and tell you what it will cost before treatment begins. A doctor lives on site, so there is someone here through the night and at weekends.
Mothers and babies
Regular checks through pregnancy let the team follow how you and your baby are doing, treat problems early, and plan for the birth. The hospital has its own maternity ward, so you can deliver here rather than travelling while in labour.
Children
Bring your child for immunisation, for the ordinary fevers and stomach upsets that worry every parent, and for anything that is not getting better. Malaria, chest infections and diarrhoea are treatable when they are caught early, and dangerous when they are not.
Surgery and admission
The hospital carries out surgery and can admit you for as long as your recovery takes. There are 27 beds across the wards. Solar panels and batteries keep the power on around the clock, and the hospital's own treated-water plant supplies the wards.
Tests and scans
Guesswork makes treatment more expensive, not less. The laboratory and diagnostic centre runs the tests that confirm what is actually wrong, and ultrasound is available for pregnancy and for investigating pain or swelling.
Eye clinic
Losing your sight costs you your work and your independence, and a great deal of it is preventable. The eye clinic checks vision, treats infections and irritation, and identifies the people who need to be referred on for surgery.
Medicines
There is no point in a prescription you cannot fill. Medicines are stocked and dispensed at the hospital, and the team will explain how to take them, for how long, and what to do if you feel worse instead of better.
Counselling and health education
Confidential counselling is available for emotional, family and personal difficulties. The team also runs health education so families know how to prevent malaria, recognise high blood pressure and diabetes, and understand what treatment involves before they need it.
In the community
For many families the journey to a hospital is the reason care never happens. The hospital and the Nigeria Family Helper Program run outreach clinics that bring checks, treatment and health advice into the surrounding communities.
Training
The shortage here is people, not just equipment. The hospital runs Health Care Assistant training, and 8 students are in training as Health Care Assistants. Every one of them is a person who stays in this community and keeps caring for it.
Why this matters
The hospital exists because the Nigeria Family Helper Program built it. These are the figures the program reports as of May 2026.

If you need care
You can walk in at any hour. If you would rather arrange a time first, send a request and the team will confirm what is available.
If you want to help
Care here is subsidised for families who could not otherwise pay for it. Regular monthly giving is what keeps the wards staffed and stocked between campaigns.
