Helping to provide pediatric care for young children

Sister PICU Project

We are organizing to establish a 5-Bed Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) at the campus of the University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital (UNTH), Ituku-Ozalla, Enugu.

Global Health Electives

The new PICU site and the Children’s Emergency Room at UNTH will serve as a recognized center in Nigeria for Global Health Electives for pediatric residents, emergency medicine residents and pediatric critical care fellows visiting from the US.

Telemedicine

The proposed new PICU site at the UNTH and other sites (teaching hospitals in Nigeria) will be linked to a robust telemedicine program which will provide a platform for one on one live clinical discussions of critically ill patients seeking care at these sites in Nigeria.

Mentorship

We provide structured mentorship program for new college graduates, residents, and other professionals.

Partnerships

The partnership with established PICUs might provide avenues for our colleagues in Nigeria to embark on exchange and short-term training programs abroad for clinical care updates and Continuing Medical Education (CME) credits.

Making a difference

We aim to make a difference in the lives of families and young children that are critically ill, by providing adequate medical care.

What We Know
We know that poverty is more than just lack of material assets — that it is a complex experience involving not only deprivation, but also social exclusion and vulnerability. All of these threaten children’s development.
