As part of the Anne Bluejack Healthcare Advancement Program, over 20 nurses from four leading medical institutions in Nigeria received hands-on training focused on respiratory health. This vital initiative aims to strengthen healthcare capacity and improve patient outcomes across the country.
The training session, led by experienced respiratory therapists Jessica Daniels and Samuel Shoaga, provided in-depth instruction on the use and functionality of ventilators—an essential skill in critical care. Their dedication and expertise not only empowered the participating nurses but also reinforced DIOMH’s ongoing commitment to advancing healthcare education in underserved communities.
We are proud to support programs that build local capacity and ensure better care for patients in need.

Every donation brings us one step closer to giving patients a second chance at life.
