Co-ordinating Administrator at Lady Helen Child Health Foundation (LHCHF)

Lady Helen Child Health Foundation (LHCHF) was established to provide suitable evidence-based healthcare and information/support to needy children and family in a timely manner. We hope to support and improve the governance tree in healthcare provision in this arena.

This Foundation is a testimony and acknowledgement of the valuable contributions to child welfare by the Late Lady Helen Odeka who devoted over 50 years of her working life to promoting the health and wellbeing of new born, infants, children and adolescents in Nigeria.

The challenge of this group and the absence of reproducible health care of quality meant that such a gap needed bridging. This is the void that Lady Helen Child Health Foundation will strive to fill. We are therefore looking for someone who shares in this Vision to join the team in moving this organization to the next phase of implementing values that will make things better.

We are recruiting to fill the position below:
