About SLUM AND RURAL HEALTH INITIATIVE NETWORK

We promote quality healthcare to the last mile using the tools of advocacy, research and technology! Slum and Rural Health Initiative (SRHIN) focuses on improving healthcare access and outcomes in underserved urban slum and rural communities in Nigeria. They implement community-based programs targeting maternal and child health, infectious disease control, and mental health to address the unique challenges faced by these marginalized populations. We empower young people and community members to design, implement, and sustain evidence-based health solutions. Our excellent work in improving maternal, child, and adolescent health outcomes have been featured on the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), Channels TV, Silverbird TV, The Nations, The Nigerian Tribune, among over 100 other media platforms. We work on a diverse range of issues such as infectious diseases, mental health, maternal and child health, and adolescent health. Our partners and funders include Grand Challenges Canada, the National Institute of Health Research (NIHR), Population Action International, Global Affairs Canada, the Canadian Institute of Health Research, the International Development Research Center (IDRC), among others. Our impactful advocacy and research work has been presented at global conferences across the world including the International AIDS Society (IAS) conference, Grand Challenges Annual Meeting, NIH Conference, among several others. We have also published our work in the Lancet Global Health, the Journal of Global Health, International Journal of Planning and Health Management, Global Health Journal, the Lancet Public Health, among over 70 other journals. We believe in and leverage technology and low-cost innovations in our work. We created the SimbiHealth mobile application in 2019 which serves young people with mental and sexual health information.
