The main purpose of HBBC
The main purpose of HBBC is to support the Core North Vision of SIM Nigeria: to reach the least reached and underserved communities through periodic medical outreach to the north; to build the capacity of local health workers; and to support medical students, residents and community health workers to align their professional skills and knowledge with their faith and become missional.
HBBC is a hub that coordinates these efforts, and its Business as Mission model funds the needs of the Core North medical ministry.
Bingham University and Bingham University Teaching Hospital are allies and primary partners of HBBC.

A story from Yobe
Amaye Village
During one outreach it was malaria season. The team cared for about 116 patients, including 70 children. About 40 children had malaria and no medicine, and more than half showed signs of severe malnutrition. Treatment and follow-up reached families who otherwise had almost nowhere to go. HBBC is working toward a community clinic in Amaye so basic care can stay there.
