The AlphaCares Health Foundation is a non-governmental, non-profit and independent charity organization founded by a group of focused and philanthropic individuals aimed at bringing about better health and health care for people in Nigeria.
Our aim is a healthier population, supported by high quality health care that can be equitably accessed. We learn what works to make people live healthier and improve the health care system.
