Medara Health Foundation works to reduce vaccine-preventable deaths by helping people understand vaccines, find trusted vaccination services and reach the protection they need.
Search by state, city, LGA or your current location. We are building a vaccination-focused directory from verified and clearly sourced health-facility data so families can spend less time searching and more time reaching care.
For some families, the barrier is distance. For others, it is cost, missed information, a service that is difficult to find, or a child who has already missed a dose. In April 2026, UNICEF reported an estimated 2.2 million zero-dose children in Nigeria. Medara exists to help close that gap, one community and one connection at a time.
No one should die from a disease a vaccine could have prevented, regardless of location or income. Medara brings together research, vaccination access and technology to make prevention easier to understand and easier to reach, beginning in Nigeria and building for Africa.
We are building tools that make vaccination services easier to find and help connect people, data and health-service locations across Africa.
We support practical pathways that help underserved communities reach lifesaving immunisation and preventive care.
We turn public-health data and local questions into evidence that can show where vaccination gaps are, who is being missed and what needs to change.
Our initial vaccine information and access work focuses on high-impact, vaccine-preventable diseases that continue to threaten children, adolescents and adults in Nigeria.
A vaccine-preventable infection that can become chronic and lead to cirrhosis and liver cancer.
HPV vaccination can prevent the infections responsible for most cervical cancers.
One of the world’s most contagious diseases; vaccination has prevented tens of millions of deaths.
A disease that can cause irreversible paralysis; vaccination remains the essential preventive tool.
BCG vaccination helps protect young children against severe forms of tuberculosis.
HPV vaccination can prevent the infections responsible for most cervical cancers.
A vaccine-preventable infection that can become chronic and lead to cirrhosis and liver cancer

Medara is at the beginning of its work. We would rather publish clear commitments and report honestly against them than make broad claims about impact we have not yet earned.
Our stories follow the people, health workers, communities and practical decisions behind vaccination access. We tell them with consent, context and dignity, without turning hardship into spectacle.
