Key Activities
Primary Health Care (PHC) Center
In 2023, the Primary Health Care (PHC) center was built out of repurposed shipping containers.
This PHC was designed by students at Texas A&M University in partnership with other organizations and adapted by engineers at Frazimex Engineering Limited in Nigeria to cater to DIOMH’s specific needs. The PHC is an indigenized solution to Primary Health Care challenges in Nigeria.
Medical Mission
In 2022, we partnered with the Vincent Ohaju Obioma Memorial (VOOM) Foundation, a Texas based Foundation and so far this partnership has provided both subsidised and free-of-charge healthcare services to over 4,000 beneficiaries from all over Nigeria to date.
With this most recent medical mission, Dame Irene Okwuosa Memorial Hospital (DIOMH) has now performed:
- 90 Adult Open-Heart Surgeries
- 53 Pediatric Open-Heart Surgeries
- 22 Pediatric Interventional Catheterizations — the first ever in Southeast Nigeria
- 39 Adult Interventional Catheterizations
This brings our total to 204 advanced cardiac procedures, including surgery on infants as young as 9 months old. These numbers represent a significant percentage of all cardiovascular procedures performed in Nigeria, positioning DIOMH as one of the most active and impactful cardiac care centers in the country.
