AMURT Nigeria’s Health Programme: Every Life Counts

AMURT is making health care accessible and affordable in a country where 19% of all global maternal deaths occur and 1 in 10 children won't reach their 5th birthday. AMURT Nigeria has been setting up rural health centres in some of the poorest, most remote communities of Ebonyi State, for the last 11 years. To date over twenty-three thousand (23,000) babies have been born in our health centers.

Kenya Success Stories

Kenya has long been a venue for many of AMURT's service projects over the years, but new challenges continue to affect millions of residents. Education, healthcare, HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment, job creation, and care for orphans and vulnerable children have all been areas of emphasis and continue to be a large part of AMURT's presence in Kenya.

Safeguarding lives of women & children

AMURT’s model of community-based collaborative healthcare in Nigeria has proven effective, with over 1965 successful births taking place in 2016 in the seven AMURT-supported health centers in three local government areas in Ebonyi state. In Offia Oji alone, 85% of the women are coming to the health center for delivery. This is remarkable given that previsouly the vast majority of women were giving birth at home or with a traditional birth attendant, a risky endeavor if faced with any birth-related complications.
