Our Vision

We seek to establish a world where every citizenry, particularly the indigent, underserved and displaced populations, has equitable and unfettered access to qualitative and responsive health services.  

Our Mission

Our mission is to improve the health and well-being of individuals and communities alike through the facilitation of access to essential healthcare services— including sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR), geriatrics, and mental health. We promote health education and advocacy and support medical referrals and research.

We address health disparities and advocate for policies that advance universal access to healthcare, such as the self-care policy, aiming to improve the overall health of the citizenry, particularly those who are underserved and vulnerable. Through dedicated service, effective collaboration, research, and innovation, we strive to create a healthier and more equitable world for everyone.
