Sustainable Development--Medical Clinics


Over the years, Family Care Association has developed a range of capacity building initiatives that contribute to sustainable development. These initiatives teach knowledge and skills in business, research and communications, as well as strengthen the understanding of regional and sectarian considerations.

Medical Clinics
The Family Care Clinic in Ikota community of Lagos State is a pilot health initiative that serves as a primary health care center; including consultation, HIV/AIDS screening and awareness, a pharmacy and outpatient ward. Additionally, the clinic surgical theatre acts as a screening center for those who are in need of tertiary medical attention by providing ophthalmic, general and dental surgery.
