According to the World Health Organization, 15% of overall deaths in low-income and middle-income countries in the world, such as Nigeria, are attributed to poor quality of healthcare, estimated at between 5.7 and 8.4 million deaths.

With a further estimation of Nigeria’s mortality rate at 67 per 100,000 due to poor quality care (Lancet Global Health Commission Report, 2018), AGCare was established to play a role in reducing Nigeria’s mortality rate by improving the quality of healthcare concerning clinical outcomes, patient experience, accessibility & affordability, healthcare personnel management, and non-human resources while making strategic healthcare management achievable and sustainable.
