Doctors On Call Health Support Initiative - Welcome to our Mobile Medical & Dental, Aged Care, First Aid Training and e-Solutions Services designed and packaged with just you in mind. We are recruiting to fill the position of Grant Writer in Abuja.

Description
One of Africa’s greatest challenge is providing quality, cost-effective health care to the elderly and the underserved in both urban and rural sectors. From our observations, many people know little or nothing about what is expected of them during medical or domestic emergencies.

Our experience among the underserved in both urban and rural sectors within African countries confirmed this conclusion. Most women, who are the usual first aiders of the African home and schools, know little about first aid and initial care. The aged community, which we will all be part of someday, presently has little or no attention. Our schemes and services go far beyond all these. This is where we come in to bridge the gap.
