ABOUT SAF

About Surgical Aid Foundation
Surgical Aid Foundation (SAF) is a Non-Governmental Organization focused on assisting patients to gain access to high-tech surgery at an affordable cost in Nigeria (e.g. Endoscopic, Laser-based, Laparoscopic surgery, and so on). SAF understands that endoscopic Minimal Access Surgeries could be expensive and beyond the means of an average income earner. SAF also realizes that everyone needs another opportunity to live a productive life and not pass away as a result of inaccessibility to medical facilities or exorbitant cost of such surgery. We are conscious that life is easier with loved ones around us. SAF is willing to take that chance with you.
Vision Statement
“Providing support to citizens to be able to access the best surgical care in the best surgical facilities at the best possible cost.”
Mission Statement
