About Us
Our Vision is Excellence in the provision of holistic quality healthcare services as an embodiment of Christ’s Compassion and Humility.
Humble and Compassionate Service sharing in Christ’ healing mission.
In addition to medical care, our health centers offer health programs mostly educating women on health issues.
We offer healthcare to those who cannot afford the cost of treatment in different countries in Africa.
We run awareness programs to address holistic development to individuals, institutions, and organizations.
Religion plays a significant role in African societies, and as a result, our people place a great deal of trust in us. The IHM Sisters are taking a bold step by constructing and operating a state-of-the-art 250-bed hospital in Nkpor, Anambra State, Nigeria.
