Expanding access to quality healthcare for underserved communities through community health programs, disease prevention, maternal and child health, and AI-powered health tools.
Nigeria has only 4 doctors per 10,000 people — far below the WHO minimum of 10. In northern Nigeria, where SATAF is most active, over 75% of rural residents travel more than 30 minutes to reach the nearest health facility. For emergencies, the situation is even more critical.
Our Public Healthcare Division works to bridge this gap through community health workers, preventive health campaigns, maternal and child health programs, and cutting-edge AI technology that brings specialist care closer to the people who need it most.
Regular health outreach camps bringing basic diagnostics, vaccinations, and health education directly to remote communities. Our volunteer health teams cover malaria, typhoid, HIV/AIDS awareness, and general wellness checks.
Supporting pregnant women with antenatal care access, safe delivery support, and postnatal health education. We train Traditional Birth Attendants (TBAs) and link them to formal health systems for emergency referrals.
Community-level disease surveillance, rapid response capacity building, and public health education campaigns for cholera, meningitis, malaria, and emerging disease outbreaks in high-risk communities.
Integrating our clean water projects with public health programs to address waterborne disease at the source. Community health promoters are embedded in every water project to sustain hygiene behaviour change.
Supplying essential medicines, medical equipment, and health records systems to primary health centres in underserved areas. We also support facility renovation and connect PHCs with specialist referral networks.
Addressing child malnutrition through community-based nutrition programs, growth monitoring, therapeutic feeding support, and caregiver education on infant and young child feeding practices.
