History

Our History

The Healthy Life for All Foundation was founded by Professor Christopher Olusola Olopade MD as a Non-Governmental Organisation and named initially as Healthy Life Foundation.. The inaugural meeting of the Foundation took place in Lagos, Nigeria on Wednesday 08 May, 2004 during which a Board of Trustees was constituted with him as President. A Constitution was drawn up in June 2004 with a motto: “Healthy People 2050”. The complex legal requirements for registration as an NGO by the Corporate Affairs Commission of the Federal Republic of Nigeria succeeded with the issuance of a Certificate of Incorporation on 07 February 2005 with a modification of the name as HEALTHY LIFE FOR ALL FOUNDATION.

The central purpose of the Organisation is to contribute to the upgrade of skills and ethics in research, investigative and therapeutic medicine through the transfer of technology in healthcare. The sum effect is the creation of additional opportunities for health promotion, disease prevention and healthcare standards which will allow for sustainable community development and participation specifically among Nigerians and humankind in general.
