Mission Statement
UHEAL partners with local clinics, and hospitals and gets its volunteer healthcare providers (nurses and doctors) from these institutions. In regards to patient teaching, UHEAL provides scientific health information on diseases making the participants see issues relevant to their well-being and thus helping them make healthy choices – food, life style habits and self-care. In order to escape poverty, one has to be employed. UHEAL help individuals displaced by the activities of Boko Haram in Northern Nigeria who are in the villages and have no source of income restart their means of livelihood by providing food and petty cash for trading.
