WHO WE ARE

We are a multidisciplinary team of Christian health professionals who use their faith as the bases of their professional practice. We demonstrate the compassion of our Lord Jesus Christ in the practice of our profession. Our services are for all. We brake earthnocentric, racial, cultural, polilitical and religious barriers. All our staff are qualified personels  duely registered un their respective or authorizing bodies in the country where we provide services. We see Jesus Christ and Know Him as the greatest Physician. His love for man-kind we believe gave birth to the health profession as well as the use of modern or orthodox medicines. We draw inspirations from the word of God written in the Holy Bible.

JESUS COMMAND ON COMPASSION

Matt.25:35-36 ,I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drinks, naked and yo clothed me, I was sick and you visited me. The above words from the greatest Physician is our trigger.It is not enough to speak the words of God and not do. We obey His commands by considering to stand with the needy peoples to providing them comfort through our services to them.

Health centres, Clinics and Hospitals are the inns we have today as was in the bible days.Luke10:34,The good Sameritan took an accident victim into the inn where they took care of him. We try to do the same as we dress wounds of our care users. The medicines we apply on the wounds and the treatments we provide is same as oil and wine used in the bible days to take care of the accident victim that was attended to by the good Samaritan.

EYE CARE

John9:6,Jesus spit on the ground and made a mud mixed with wine and applied on the blind,s eye. In our team we have specialists who diagnose and treat people with eye ailment and God heals them.

FEVER

Matt8:14-15,Peter,s mother inlaw had fever and Jesus ministered to her  and healed her. We have specialists who diagnose and treat people running temperature and God heals them.

HEADACHES

In the bible days, we learnt the child cried my head, my head and died. God used his prophet to raise him back to life.2Kings4:19. In our team, we have specialists who diagnose and treat people suffering from headaches and God heals them.

ORTHORPAEDIC CARE

The Holy Spirit healed an orthorpaedic case while Paul was ministering and somebody who was sleeping fell down stairs and had multiple fractures. Acts 20:19.We have specialists who we refer orthorpaedic cases to in our team.

GYNAECOLOGICAL CONDITIONS

The Hebrew women in the bible days were Gynacological cases which God managed for them. In our team we refer such cases to specialists who provides the best of care and God heals them. Exodus 1:19

HAEMORRHAGE

Luke 8:43,In the bible days Jesus healed the woman with the issues of blood. That was haemorrhagic conditions. In our services we refer such cases to specialists who provides such cares and God heals them.

DISABLED

John5:5,Jesus healed the crippled. We care for the disabled. Anywhere Jesus met people with different infermities he gave them attention during his earthly ministries. He was not only stationed in the synagues of those days. He went to people at the pool, at the temple, at the gate. That is what inspire our mobile medical outreaches.

BIPOLLAR

Mark5:4 Jesus healed a man who was bound with chain. That was catatonic Schizophrenia, but Jesus healed him. We refer people with bipolar conditions to specialists and God heals them.

We ensure good communication that in our practice both direct and indirect communications are conducive to sound practice. Our staff team eliminate all the indirect aspects of communication that undermine the trusts of health care users. We are strict on our staff team on their gestures, the way they walk, their tone of voice, appearance, attitudes, approachability to act as resourceful persons and to remain cool and decisive in crisis situations; their charm, friendliness, innate courtesy and helpfulness all communicate a trusting relationship. We are totally opposed to staff who are insensitive and put health care users in conditions  bullied and shouted around.
