Nigeria has one of the largest internally displaced person (IDP) populations in Africa, with approximately 3.7 million IDPs as of late 2024, driven by conflict, insurgency, and climate-related disasters without access to medical care. This project will provide mobile healthcare services through medical vans, reaching families with basic treatment, medicines, and health education. Our goal is to bring care closer to those who cannot reach hospitals due to distance or insecurity.
In 2024 alone, approximately 3.7 million IDPs in Nigeria faced illness, poor sanitation, and lack of medical attention caused by conflict, insurgency, and climate-related disasters. Most camps are far from hospitals, and many people cannot afford transportation or medicine. Children and pregnant women are most at risk, suffering from malaria, infections, and malnutrition. Without medical support, preventable diseases continue to cause avoidable suffering and deaths.
This project will operate mobile clinics that visit IDP camps weekly. Each visit will include doctors, nurses, and volunteers providing free checkups, treatment, and essential medicines. Health talks on hygiene and disease prevention will also be held. The team will record medical data to plan follow-ups and maintain continuous care. The clinics will help reduce preventable illnesses and improve the health of displaced families.
Mobile Healthcare for Internally Displaced People will provide access to medical care in IDP camps and nearby host communities where health services are limited or unavailable. Regular visits by medical teams will reduce preventable illnesses and deaths linked to poor sanitation, malnutrition, and untreated diseases. Consistent medical support will help stabilize community health, reduce disease outbreaks, and improve child and maternal survival rates.
