Oworoshoki clinic treats 378 patients in January, nearing 7,000 total

In January, 378 patients received free healthcare at Safe City, our clinic in Oworoshoki, Lagos, bringing the total since launch to 6,953. Patient visits picked up as residents returned to Lagos after the holiday season, following a quieter December.

Of the 378 patients, 40% were visiting for the first time and 60% were returning. New patients continue to hear about the clinic through word of mouth from their neighbours. The average monthly household income among patients was about 21,700 naira (roughly £12) for a family of four, which works out to about £3 per person per month. We spent about £375 (US$474) on salaries and medications.

On the infrastructure side, we have finalised plans with local engineers to install a small solar generator at the clinic. The community helped raise funds alongside Kwanda's contribution, and the vendor will install the system within the next few weeks, which will help keep the clinic running smoothly as patient numbers continue to grow.
