We support medical and dental education in Nigeria at every stage With a focus on medical and dental education across Nigeria, The Medicus Foundation is committed to identifying, nurturing, and supporting medical potential throughout the country.
We do this by providing scholarships, grants, and structured professional support at key stages of medical and dental training- at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels- helping students translate promise into impact.Mission
Our mission is to contribute meaningfully to the advancement of medical and dental education in Nigeria- one student, one project, and one opportunity at a time.
By fostering an environment that promotes learning, development, and professional growth, we aim to support future clinicians whose training translates into improved patient care and strengthens health provision nationwide.What We Do
We aim to empower the medical sector in the country from its educational roots. This will be achieved by:
- Provision of scholarships and grants to undergraduates.
- Facilitating exchange programmes and providing bursaries for such as appropriate.
- Arranging educational events and courses.
We aim to make a lasting difference by enabling medical and dental students to recognise, develop, and fulfil their potential—for their benefit and for the health systems they will one day serve.
The Plan
In partnership with universities, donors and volunteers across the world, we’re investing in the future of Nigerian doctors. We select young Nigerians on the basis of character, service and the promise of leadership. We aim to create a network of future leaders of a global standard, who will contribute in a meaningful way to address the health related challenges of our society.
Doctors in Diaspora
The Foundation was set up by doctors and dentists both in Nigeria and across the globe, each an esteemed graduate of the College of Medicine of the University of Lagos. We collaborate to create a nurturing environment for partnership and mentorship, availing talented young trainees of learning and networking opportunities.
Our maiden project was the YBC-2003 Scholarship, which launched in 2019.
