About our foundation
Fidelity Medical Group is a community-led registered charity working to improve the health and well-being of communities in Nigeria. We cater for communities in defining the challenges and barriers affecting our health and well-being. We provide a platform for people to establish a common voice around systemic problems, and we work to co-design and mobilize the tools, skills, partnerships and investment needed to implement solutions that improve health outcomes across Nigeria.
We exist to give those in rural and remote regions better access to lifesaving healthcare. At FMG, we care deeply about the places where we live and work. From the remotest outback regions to pristine coastal areas and bustling rural farming districts. Together, we’re creating meaningful change to give people a better chance at health in our regions.
Our success stories
VALUES & PRINCIPLES
We understand that despite our many differences, we are united by our shared history, ingenuity and resourcefulness and that together, we will find lasting solutions to the systemic and structural barriers that compromise our health and well-being.
Catalytic Leadership
We strive to ignite our communities and be at the forefront of driving change, and delivering results. We believe that leadership begins with a strong shared vision and a commitment to build networks and engage seasoned and emerging leaders across sectors.
Partnership
We believe that to improve the health and well-being of Nigerian communities, we must collaborate and work in partnerships. Strong partnerships are founded on common objectives, values, reciprocity and accountability.
Social Justice
Social justice is a fundamental principle in our work and we recognize the multiple and compounding ways that our identities and social locations intersect with our health and wellbeing. Our work is grounded in an anti-ethnicism, anti-oppressive framework and a commitment to ensuring an environment that is free from discrimination and harassment. We actively seek to dismantle systematic barriers that impact our health.
Courage
We will act with conviction and integrity and take informed risks. We acknowledge that Nigerians' social identities are multiple and interlocking and that health inequities must be viewed and addressed through an intersectional lens which includes, but not limited to; ethnicity, gender, socioeconomic status and disability.
