Welcome

The Access to Basic Medical Care (ABC) programme proposes to ensure healthcare for people in the rural areas of the 33 Local Government Councils of Oyo State.

The initiative is galvanized by the specific need to extend basic health care solutions to the masses especially those within significant distance to the town centres such as Ibadan, Oyo and Ogbomosho. The Programmes’ ability to provide cost effective solutions in a timely manner.

Within the ABC Programme Primary Care is the provision of integrated, accessible health care services by Clinicians who are accountable for:

Addressing a large majority of personal health care needs;
Developing a sustained partnership with patients; and
Practicing in the context of family and community medicine.

Preventable deaths in both Adults and Children will be managed with the full implementation of comprehensive Primary Care Services addressing diseases such as diarrhoea, pneumonia, malaria, and HIV/AIDS and preventive health and chronic disease management as well as maternal care.

why abc?

Every Indigene has a fundamental right to high quality and effective health care.

The neglect of mild and chronic conditions, and the avoidance of preventive care, can have serious consequences in terms of ill health and the eventual cost of treatment for the individual and the community.

Standardised Services

Each ABC Clinic will address the same basic healthcare needs.

Efforts will be focused on accelerating the organization of health care providers into team-like configurations so that they can adopt systems that are likely to reduce errors of overuse, underuse, and misuse, and improve the overall coordination of care.
