About AMCH

Abiye Maternal and Child Health foundation

We are a non-profit, non-governmental organization based in Nigeria. Our aim is to provide up-to-date evidence-based life-saving knowledge and skill to frontline health workers in communities across Nigeria.

We work hard to help strenghten the Nigerian health system and improve the quality of maternal and new-born care.

Our purpose is summarised in this quote by our founder, Dr Elizabeth Disu; “If we all, here and there do a bit, together we can make a difference and end preventable deaths of mothers and newborn babies. Let’s give the best chance to life at birth!”
