Who We Are
mass medical mission (m3)—always written in lowercase to reflect that the mission is greater than the title—is a non-profit, non-governmental, non-partisan organization focused on transforming public health through the power of prevention. Founded on the 18th of October, 2004, and duly registered as an Incorporated Trustee under the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, we deliver comprehensive preventive care (also known as community medicine) across Nigeria while supporting national efforts to achieve critical health objectives.
What We Do
This commitment shapes everything we do. We go beyond basic awareness, engaging all five levels of preventive healthcare—from primordial to Primary, Secondary, Tertiary and quaternary prevention. Guided by the conviction that prevention is better, cheaper, and surer than cure, we believe any meaningful health plan in resource-limited settings and the Global South must place at least as much emphasis on preventive care as on curative medicine—making prevention the only truly sustainable path forward.

The Cancer Fulcrum
At the heart of our work lies cancer prevention. Because cancer correlates with nearly every major lifestyle and environmental disease—from diabetes and hypertension to obesity and pollution-related illnesses—we use it as the strategic entry point and practical fulcrum for broader health improvement. By tackling the complexities of cancer prevention, we uplift the entire health ecosystem, one community at a time.
Our Inspiration
Driven by the ethos of Christianity and the spirituality of the Anglican Communion, we are dedicated to compassionate service for all, without discrimination.
Our Vision
To heal the world through community-focused preventive healthcare—one life, one family, and one community at a time.
