Inspired by similar visions and believing in the power of partnerships, Vision Africa and Four Corners have joined forces to establish a pilot medical center project in Nigeria.
Working with one of the world's leading experts in developing medical facilities, the pilot project will apply modern business principles and unmatched medical expertise to Vision Africa's well-established community approach to health care. Nigeria can benefit enormously from better access to primary health care that's high quality and sustainable.
Bishop Sunday's home state of Abia is one of the most densely populated areas of Nigeria and the people there face many hardships. Chief among them is a lack of access to good doctors and good medicine.
As you read in the Spring Newsletter, Vision Africa's leadership and volunteers in the U.S. and Nigeria have spent many years drawing up plans and raising funds for Phase 1 of the Vision Africa Medical Center. Starting with a hostel to house mission teams participating in medical outreach ministries, and following through to a fully-functioning medical facility. The government of Abia State in Nigeria donated a significant parcel of land for the project, and Bishop Sunday is overseeing efforts to prepare the land for construction
To this effort, our new partner Four Corners brings an incredible perspective and background in medical business and a shared heart for sharing the gospel in concrete ways through the gift of medicine.
The partnership is new and we will continue to work out details of the pilot medical center project. We appreciate your prayers, thoughts and support as we endeavor to find a new path to sustainable, indigenous solutions for Africa's health crises.
