About
Who we are
Uwakah Memorial Medical Foundation (UMMF) is made up of health-conscious community members who are passionate about improving health outcomes and how health is delivered. UMMF advocates for health advancements and educates the community on accessing medical resources. Historically, we believe that partnerships have aided in the exchange of ideas and that culturally appropriate healthcare promotes inclusion in the healthcare system, further enhancing health outcomes.
Our mission
UMMF's mission is to collaborate with already established clinics in rural parts of Nigeria and other African countries in order to improve health outcomes. We are, particularly, interested in projects that reduce infant and maternal deaths. We hope to provide educational opportunities in order to improve how marginalized community members positively influence health. We stand by the improvement in standardization of healthcare, collaborative efforts, the development of community health programs, and increasing opportunities for empowerment and advocacy for community health.
