Our History
Anioma Medical Professional forum Inc. (AMPF) is a reality that came through, borne out of the desire to render medical help to the helpless, living around us and in our rural communities. It is a non profit, non-governmental health organization registered duly with Cooperate affairs commission of Nigeria.
The organization comprises of health professionals consisting of doctors, nurses, consultants, pharmacist, ,medical lab scientist physiotherapist, etc all of Anioma Origin, including those in diaspora.
This honorable organization was birthed in 2014, by Dr Awunor Alexander Chidubem, who is the Founder of the NGO, who had a dream of Improving the health of the people. The first program was held in 2015 in his home town Idumu-ogo, with few medical volunteers. As they say charity begins at home.
Subsequently the number of volunteers increased, and have been moving from community to community to hold our programs Every medical outreach that has been held by this prestigious body, wouldn’t have been possible without the selfless help of our medical professional volunteers. They are not paid for their services ,but they share in the vision of giving back to the society, and rendering help to the helpless.
