ABOUT US
Together, we aim to create sustainable healthcare access and improve health outcomes in Nigeria’s underserved communities.
The HealFast mobile clinic initiative was born out of the critical impact caused by the well-documented brain drain of highly trained medical professionals from developing countries to western nations. Nowhere is this challenge more severe than in Nigeria, where reports suggest that up to 40% of certified physicians have left the country in the past five years alone.
Compounding this issue, the majority of the remaining healthcare professionals tend to live and practice in urban areas. This imbalance results from multiple factors—including persistent insecurity in rural and remote regions and limited opportunities to supplement low government salaries. Consequently, the doctor-to-patient ratio, already concerning nationwide, becomes catastrophic outside major cities.
Given the widespread poverty in these areas, many rural residents only seek medical attention once conditions have escalated into critical emergencies.
At Healfast, we believe this situation can be significantly improved through a strategic mobile clinic initiative. Our program is designed to:
- Increase access to primary healthcare for populations outside urban centers in a cost-effective way
- Ensure adequate security for our mobile clinical staff
- Deliver holistic care that emphasizes prevention, reinforcing the principle that “Prevention is CHEAPER than crisis”
- Develop innovative solutions to help patients manage treatment costs
- Collaborate with regional governments and private partners to achieve shared healthcare goals
