ABOUT US
WHO WE ARE
The Muslim Public Affairs Center (MPAC) launched the Sakinah Project in 2009 to provide world-class care treatment and medical assistance for indigent and needy members of the society. It has provided a chance for Muslims to have a personal impact on others- Muslim and non-Muslim Nigerians. During the period that MPAC ran the Sakinah as a project, more than N60 million was collected as Sadakat and Zakat and judiciously expended to benefit 548 persons and organise 3 medical outreaches that have benefited hundred of the less privileged members of the community of its reach. Some of the beneficiaries got free life-changing all-expense paid treatments outside the country, in such countries as India, Turkey, and Germany for chronic ailments.
The project was managed by volunteer Muslim medical practitioners at leading medical centers and teaching hospitals in Nigeria and has now transformed into full-fledged medical outreach organisation set up to deliver high-performance results to both beneficiaries and donors. Funds are dedicated to serving humanity and afford an opportunity for public-spirited individuals to make a difference in the lives of sick people and have a personal impact on them. The intervention project has covered several medical treatments for both the young and aged including evacuation to medical facilities overseas.
The amazing work and successes of the project encouraged the center to chart a better future for it. By becoming a professional organisation that will deliver top-rated services in the entire value chain of healthcare and service delivery to the poor, Sakinah Medical Outreach is set to play a much bigger role in Nigeria’s healthcare system in the coming years.
The organisation is fully incorporated with the Corporate Affairs Commission (RC. 102734), with its staff and led by Dr. Salman Yusuf, Consultant Neurosurgeon at the National Hospital Abuja. Dr. Salman has led the Sakinah Project for 6 years and midwifed its transition. The new organisation will continue to serve the general community with Transparency, Credibility, and Local-Knowledge.
Sakinah Medical Outreach is entirely dedicated to serving humanity. It will provide HOPE, LOVE & PEACE for the sick and their families. In sha Allah, it will put smiles on the faces of the sick and their families.
At Sakinah Medical Outreach, we look forward to successful years ahead with accomplishments that will position the organisation as a leading medical outreach organisation in quality service delivery and impacts.
