What We Do

The Community Checkup Initiative in Lagos, Abia and Ondo

Access to Preventive Services

Five years ago, we launched The Community Checkup Initiative with one mission: to close the gap in NCD care by strengthening primary healthcare centers (PHCs).Across Nigeria, PHCs are the first point of contact for millions of people, yet many lack the tools, training, and resources to properly detect, manage, and prevent chronic diseases. We knew that if we wanted lasting change, it had to start here ,with stronger systems, empowered health workers, and informed communities.

Through this initiative, we’ve made measurable progress:

  • Screened hundreds of residents in Lagos and Abuja for early detection of hypertension, diabetes, and other chronic conditions.
  • Trained PHC health workers to improve diagnosis, patient management, and referrals for better care pathways.
  • Educated communities on prevention, lifestyle changes, and self-care strategies that help people live healthier lives despite NCD challenges.

This project empowers people with diabetes and hypertension to manage their health at home through expert guidance, early care, and community support
