Founded by Professor Uduak Archibong, MBE and launched in 2015, Affiong Etuk Foundation for Inclusive Health (AFfIH) works to promote inclusive health and care services in Nigeria. Su-perstition and negative traditions fre-quently stigmatise behaviours related to age, mental health and other forms of long term illnesses. The foundation is a leading support and research charity for inclusion and diversity in health and so-cial care provisions in Nigeria.
AFfIH’s vision for inclusive health takes a wide range of forms. Through our pro-jects and campaigns, we provide exper-tise, practical services and sup-port towards transforming cultures with-in health institutions and in communities for inclusion and diversity in health and social care provisions.
