Who we are

Built by a clinician.
Driven by community need.

Ziora Foundation was founded by a practising clinician at Korle Bu Teaching Hospital — Ghana's largest national referral centre. We exist because the communities most in need of healthcare are consistently the last to receive it.

Our work

One foundation. Three health priorities.

The three most underprovided areas of community healthcare in Ghana — each led by a qualified clinician, delivered free, where people already gather.

01

Maternal & Child Health

Reproductive health care for women and girls — from prenatal support to cervical cancer prevention — delivered where access is hardest.

  • Maternal health education and postnatal support
  • HPV vaccination awareness
  • Cervical cancer screening outreach
02

Dental Health

Free dental screening, oral health education, and basic care — brought directly to schools, churches, and community organisations.

  • Free dental screening
  • Oral health education
  • Basic dental care
03

Mental Health

Awareness, destigmatisation, and early support in schools and communities — addressing one of Ghana's most underserved areas of healthcare.

  • Mental health awareness and destigmatisation
  • Basic psychosocial support
  • Early identification in schools and community settings
