Odibu Foundation mission seeks to provide mobile healthcare to address the problem of poor health access in Nigeria at no cost to patients. We seek to provide care for transmissible diseases such as HIV, as well as conditions like diabetes and hypertension. We are also concerned with providing specialized care for family planning. This would include access to free birth control, as well as pre-natal and post-natal care and care for infants. The social problem to be addressed: The communities in Northern Cross River State, due to lack of knowledge, information and orientation in health and hygiene the grass root level villagers cannot understand the need of immunization, importance of growth monitoring, technique of low cost nutritious food preparation, different methods of birth control, spacing between two children, importance using sanitary or pit type latrine, preparation of safe drinking water, maintenance of personal hygiene and disposal of waste products from the home and practices to maintain good health. In fact sound health deteriorates here with the increase of superstition and wrong method of treatment. So the incidence of maternal mortality, child mortality, morbidity, dehydration and malnutrition rate and other infectious diseases are quite high as per our community diagnosis. The existing Dai are not qualified so they cannot diagnosis in the case of high-risk pregnancies properly. The quacks are not trained. They depend on limited indigenous knowledge. The diversity and multiplicity of the problem can be decreased with some comprehensive program in this matter. At the time of feeling pain, they have to take to distant primary health center but on the way the pregnant women face great problem. Sometime the pregnant women are compelled to give birth their children under the open sky. So most of the patients have to go to town but some of them die in the street. Health care in Nigeria is not accessible, affordable, or high+quality as the residents of Nigeria deserve. Nigeria has one of the highest infant and maternal mortality rates in the world.16% of children die before their fifth birthday from complete preventable diseases like malaria and diarrhea. When treatment is many miles away, it is expensive to get to it, and many Nigerians simply cannot afford to get to a hospital or do not have transportation. Our foundation is dedicated to relieving the suffering and uncertainty of Nigeria children and underprivileged people. These individuals become victim to the shackle of poverty where the simplest necessities of life such as food, healthcare, shelter, clean water, sanitation and hygiene are often not within their reach.
