community health service
Health is a vital part of the society. A healthy population is an important contribution to economic progress, as healthy populations live longer, and are more productive.
At Chicason Group, we believe that good health is central to human happiness and that’s why we deliver the best quality community health service to all people, when and where they need them.
Through our Chicason-Mannyon Hospital, the Group has over the years offered full-time community medicine for Nnewi and other neighboring towns of Anambra State.
