Our Story
Origin (2017 to 2018)
Nexacare was founded in 2017 with the conviction that primary healthcare in northern Nigeria can be strengthened through disciplined data, digital innovation, and the trust of the communities it serves. The first documented field activity took place on 7 July 2018: a maternal, newborn, and child health and malaria community outreach across Gama Tudu, Gayawa, and Tudun Murtala wards in Nasarawa and Ungogo Local Government Areas of Kano State.
Building the field foundation (2018 to 2019)
Through the period from 2018 to 2019, Nexacare delivered routine immunisation training in Gama (10 August 2018), clinician mentorship in Gayawa (5 April 2019), SD Bioline mRDT and ACT distribution in Gama (3 September 2019), and Sulphadoxine-Pyrimethamine distribution (October 2019). The work was coordinated with State and Local Government counterparts and grounded in the trust of traditional and religious leadership.
Formalisation (2026)
Nexacare was incorporated under the Companies and Allied Matters Act 2020 on 29 March 2026 (CAC RC 9449732), registered with the Special Control Unit against Money Laundering on 9 April 2026 (SC 201402792), and obtained Tax Identification Number 2621995239556. The Board of Trustees is chaired by Dr. Mannir Ahmad with Auwal Sunusi as Founding Trustee, operating from Plot 5 & 6 Link 1, Yus-Abu Estate, Yan Shana-Mariri Road, Unguwar Rimi, Kano State.
Today
Nexacare operates across nine northern Nigerian states (Adamawa, Bauchi, Jigawa, Kaduna, Kano, Katsina, Kebbi, Sokoto, Taraba) across seven programmatic pillars: immunisation and zero-dose; malaria; maternal, newborn, and child health; health systems strengthening; digital health and data; surveillance and IDSR; community engagement and social and behaviour change. The institution holds a complete documentation stack of 97 governance, operational, programmatic, and compliance instruments aligned with international standards and Nigerian regulatory requirements.
Posture
Country-systems-first. Nexacare supports rather than parallels the work of the Federal Ministry of Health, NPHCDA, NMEP, NCDC, State Ministries of Health, and Local Government Authorities. Our contribution is data discipline, digital innovation, technical expertise, and community trust, applied to the priorities of the country’s own health agenda.
Data. Innovation. Impact.
