In addition to our clinic-based outreach missions, we partner with Cornerstone Health
Foundation to do monthly mobile clinics at many church locations to serve the urban and rural poor.

Like almost everyone else, the Covid pandemic has forced Kateri Medical Services to do things differently. We have been prevented from traveling to Nigeria for our annual medical outreach missions, first because of the Covid restrictions and second because of security problems. Prior to the pandemic, we were a very hands-on enterprise in terms of engaging with our local partners and in evaluating potential sites for new clinics to be built. When the Covid restrictions stopped us, we decided to find new ways to accomplish our mission. Here are three examples.
At Kateri Clinic, we have been forced to discontinue our annual medical outreach and our mobile clinics at Kateri Clinic due to violence, robbery and kidnapping activities in the area, but thankfully, we have found a partner.
We are very grateful for two grants from SAMS (Society of Anglican Missionaries and Senders) based in Abridge, Pennsylvania. This year, they gave two generous grants.

The Society of Anglican Missionaries and Senders did a piece about Kateri Medical Services. Thank you for helping us spreak the word about Kateri and the work we do in Nigeria!
