| Making affordable
primary health available to rural Nigeria |
- Pre-natal mortality in Nigeria
is amongst the highest in the world.
- Health services are inaccessible to most rural
Nigerians
- Malaria, water borne diseases, vaccine preventable
diseases-all easily preventable through Primary
Health Care, are the greatest killers in Nigeria.
- Although HIV/AIDS affects 5.4% of Nigerians,
precious little is being done, especially in
rural Nigeria.

| The TCF Mission
for Primary Health |
- Focuses on preventing disease and disability
- 70% of illness in developing country is due
to preventable causes.Simple interventions through
Primary Health Care address them effectively.
- Health personnel based in the community provides
easy access to services.
- Focusing services on vulnerable groups such
as women and children leads to significant improvement
in health indicators.
