Holds combined medical mission and Scientific Convention in Lagos, Nigeria
In April 2025, the Association of Nigerian Physicians in the Americas (ANPA) conducted a highly impactful Medical Mission Week (April 4–9) followed by its 31st Annual Scientific Convention (April 9–13) in Lagos, Nigeria. The Medical Missions brought together volunteer healthcare teams delivering free services, including surgeries, pharmaceuticals, vision and dental care, demonstrating ANPA’s dedication to health equity and service in underserved communities. The impact of ANPA’s Medical Mission Week was felt by thousands of people seeking care:
• 612 surgeries were conducted across a variety of specialties, including 387 optical, 37 dental, 10 vascular, 6 neurological, etc. The mission showcased the expansive range of disciplines practiced amongst ANPA’s talented membership.
• 4,354 total encounters took place between medical professionals and civilians seeking the proper care for their medical emergencies.
The Scientific Convention, themed “Innovations for Effective Healthcare in the 21st Century,” served as a dynamic forum for Nigerian-born and diaspora physicians to engage in cutting-edge discussions on local healthcare challenges, advancements and best practices. The event featured presentations on initiatives such as the ECHO chronic kidney disease program and Stop The Bleed training, reinforcing ANPA’s emphasis on practical, life‑saving skills.
By combining hands-on medical outreach with rigorous scientific exchange, the Lagos convention stood for excellence in the Nigerian physician community. It facilitated professional development, strengthened global-local partnerships and elevated standards of care. ANPA’s approach of bridging volunteer service with peer‑reviewed scientific learning underscored its role as a catalyst for improved healthcare delivery and innovation for Nigerian physicians.
Produces hourlong film about the history of ANPA
ANPA’s history is deeply rooted in a mission to connect and empower a skilled diaspora, fostering professional development, scientific dialogue, and community service both across the Americas and in Nigeria. Over 30 years, ANPA has become a pivotal platform for mentorship, advocacy, and healthcare innovation, bridging global medical expertise with local impact. Its legacy underscores a commitment to advancing health systems, nurturing future leaders and reinforcing the bond between physicians abroad and Nigeria. The creation of a film detailing the history of ANPA is a landmark achievement that honors the organization’s legacy and vision. By capturing the journey of its founders, the growth of its membership and its impact on global healthcare, the film serves as both an educational tool and a powerful source of inspiration
Publishes a 30th anniversary ANPA Repository
In 2025, ANPA published a repository booklet in honor of the association’s 30th anniversary, titled “ANPA@30: The Association of Nigerian Physicians in the Americas (ANPA) – A Brief History.” The repository preserves the stories of dedication, service and excellence that defined ANPA’s foundation. The retelling of ANPA’s history showcases the strength of the association’s identity and unites current and future members through a shared narrative of purpose, pride and progress.
Introduces ANPA CARES Emergency Guides
ANPA has made a major advancement by developing its “ANPA CARES Emergency Guides” program, soon to be released as a mobile app. The goal of the app’s creation is to close the gap between trained healthcare professionals and the general public during emergencies.
The app will offer users quick, medically approved guidance for common emergency situations such as choking, bleeding, burns and cardiac arrest. Immediate access to reliable information can help save lives when medical help is not readily available. By putting these tools in the hands of everyday people like parents, teachers and community members, ANPA will be strengthening public health preparedness. The ANPA CARES Emergency Guides program will serve as a valuable educational resource for community training and outreach. The project reflects ANPA’s ongoing dedication to practical healthcare solutions and extends its mission of service and excellence to broader communities.
