We treated 398 patients at Safe City in April, our best month of 2026

In April, 398 community members received free healthcare at Safe City in Oworoshoki, Lagos, the clinic's busiest month of 2026 and a sharp rebound from 241 in March, when a staff change had slowed visits. The total since launch now stands at 7,895 patients, closing in on 8,000.

Two-thirds of April's patients (66%) were returning, the highest rate Safe City has seen this year, a sign the community has settled in with the new team. We welcomed 135 first-time visitors, and 119 of our patients were children under 18, brought in by parents who had nowhere else to turn for free care. 74% were women, most supporting families on around $9.22 (about £7) per person each month, well below the poverty line. The most common conditions we treated were upper respiratory infections (35%), muscle and body pain (30%), malaria (17%) and high blood pressure (13%). We spent $460 (about £360) on medications, supplies and clinic operations.

Mrs Yetunde came to see Safe City for herself after hearing about it from others, and shared what she found on video.

With the new team now firmly established, we expect to pass 8,000 patients next month.
