OUR FOCUS
Medicare – we render healthcare services whether via medical missions or through our flagship medical institution – the Calabar Women and Children Hospital located in Cross River State where advanced maternal, Newborn and child healthcare is rendered. Medicaid – we are presently collaborating with 5 Teaching Hospitals in Nigeria especially as it concerns peadiatric oncology care. In these institutions we support staff training, research and procurement of high-end laboratory equipment. We have established and are building Paediatric Oncology Medicare Support Funds (POMSuF) in these centers. Organizing periodic, FREE regional or zonal medical missions allows us to bring much needed medicare to people who are often too poor to access even the most basic healthcare. During these missions we provide preventive, and therapeutic Medicare (eyecare and surgeries, general and other specialist surgeries) among others. A key feature of CSDON medical missions is organizing training for local healthcare providers on Neonatal Resuscitation, STABLE program and training of traditional birth attendants (TBAs) on safe birthing practices among others. Advocacy – our advocacy and awareness campaigns cover oncology healthcare, HIV & AIDS, Child and women's rights protection, education of the child and the woman.
