Dawn arrives with promise in a small village in Akwa-Ibom, where a small, unassuming health clinic operates as a lifeline for the local community. Behind its walls, a dedicated nurse works with quiet determination, attending to patients with a gentle touch.

This clinic, one of many across the vast Nigerian landscape, serves as concrete evidence of the mission that drives the Centre for Integrated Health Programs (CIHP), an organization that moves through Nigeria's healthcare landscape like a current of fresh water.
