01About MED-WECARE

Care that starts in the community and is measured by its outcomes.

Founded in 2021, MED-WECARE is a Nigerian healthcare organization working at the intersection of community health, preventive care, health education, digital health and research.

Many Nigerians live with conditions such as hypertension that go undiagnosed until complications arise. We go to where people are — markets, churches, town halls and rural communities — to screen, educate and connect them to care, and we follow up with digital tools that keep patients from falling through the cracks.

Mission
To bridge gaps in healthcare access by delivering preventive care, health education and sustained follow-up to communities that are often left behind.
Vision
A Nigeria where every person, regardless of location or income, can detect, manage and prevent illness early.
Approach
Community-led, data-informed and accountable. We measure what we do so that it can be improved, scaled and trusted.

03Our Work

Five connected pillars, one continuum of care.

Each programme feeds the next: outreach identifies need, education builds understanding, digital tools sustain follow-up, and research turns experience into evidence.

  1. 01

    Community Health

    Outreach screenings and referral pathways delivered directly in underserved communities.

  2. 02

    Preventive Care

    Early detection of hypertension and other non-communicable disease risk before complications.

  3. 03

    Health Education

    Practical, culturally grounded sessions on lifestyle, medication adherence and warning signs.

  4. 04

    Digital Health

    A digital hypertension registry that supports follow-up and continuity of care.

  5. 05

    Research

    Community-based evidence generation to inform programmes, policy and partners.

04Community Health

Meeting people where they live.

Our outreaches bring screening and education directly into communities, then link people to the care they need.

  • Blood pressure and basic health screening
  • Health talks on hypertension, nutrition and lifestyle
  • Counselling on medication adherence
  • Referral to facilities for further assessment and treatment

05Digital Hypertension Registry

Turning one-time screenings into continuous care.

Hypertension is often silent and lifelong. Our digital registry keeps track of patients beyond the first encounter, so that care continues after the outreach ends.

50patients currently enrolled in the registry
  1. Step 01

    Identify

    Patients with elevated blood pressure are identified during screening and outreach.

  2. Step 02

    Enrol

    With consent, readings and key clinical information are captured in the digital registry.

  3. Step 03

    Follow up

    Repeat readings and check-ins help track control over time and flag those who need support.

  4. Step 04

    Learn

    Aggregated, de-identified data informs programme decisions and research questions.

Patient data is collected with consent, stored securely and reported only in aggregate.

06Research

Generating evidence from the ground up.

Our programmes are designed to answer questions that matter for Nigerian health systems. We welcome collaboration with academic institutions, clinicians and public health researchers.
