Key Activities
In 2023, the Primary Health Care (PHC) center was built out of repurposed shipping containers.
This PHC was designed by students at Texas A&M University in partnership with other organizations and adapted by engineers at Frazimex Engineering Limited in Nigeria to cater to DIOMH’s specific needs. The PHC is an indigenized solution to Primary Health Care challenges in Nigeria.
In 2022, we partnered with the Vincent Ohaju Obioma Memorial (VOOM) Foundation, a Texas based Foundation and so far this partnership has provided both subsidised and free-of-charge healthcare services to over 4,000 beneficiaries from all over Nigeria to date.
With this medical mission, we have performed 43 open-heart surgeries at DIOMH, including on a 9- month-old infant, which accounts for over 15% of the total number of open-heart surgeries carried out by all the hospitals in Nigeria combined during the year.
