World Health Mission is a non-profit, non-sectarian, (501 Hc)(3) charitable medical organization incorporated in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in 1989. The organization is dedicated to providing volunteer medical services to patients, to providing training and continuing medical education to staff physicians, nurses , residents and medical students, and to donating critical medical equipment and supplies to hospitals that lack necessary equipment. Our major focus has been with assisting the Jos University Teaching Hospital in Jos, Nigeria.

World Health Mission was founded by Dr. Robert Ford and Dr. Olu Sangodeyi, a Pittsburgh obstetrician/gynecologist and general surgeon, respectively. There are no paid employees, as the organization is a non-profit.

extraordinarily critical medical conditions and has offered assistance to several critically important team members who could not afford transportation expenses.
