Since 2019, we operated our clinics in suburban communities of the Capital city of Kwara state, we targeted poor and underserved populations, mostly women, children and the elderly. As a not-for-profit organization, our clinics establish a micro-insurance scheme with a highly subsidized cost that is affordable for both micro-insurance and out-of-pocket enrollees. We penetrated the underserved communities using structured home-based care for the poor and underserved populations of the elderly, women and children. We establish a simple and culturally adaptable community mobilization strategy for Blood Pressure (BP) awareness and linkage to care. Collaborating with other partners and philanthropists, we have carried out countless community outreaches, saving hundreds of lives and preventing complications from some diseases.  By erecting “Lown BP Stands” in the community, we have made digital BP monitoring devices available and accessible to individuals in the community thereby removing the health facility bureaucracies and complexities. This ensured community ownership and the community taking responsibility for their health Fig 2.

The government cannot do it all nor do it alone. By giving back to the community through private and not-for-profit organizations, the burden of providing healthcare services will be reduced among vulnerable and underserved populations while wellness and healthy living will improve especially among the neglected, vulnerable and underserved populations who are mostly women and children Figs 3 & 4.
