Damian Foundation Niger

Damian Foundation Niger is a specialized medical non-governmental organization focused on the detection and treatment of leprosy, tuberculosis, and other neglected tropical diseases. As a branch of the Belgian international NGO Action Damien, the foundation operates in close partnership with the Nigerien Ministry of Public Health to provide essential care to vulnerable populations. The organization manages diagnostic facilities, facilitates the distribution of multi-drug therapies, and supports surgical rehabilitation for patients with physical disabilities resulting from chronic infections. Beyond clinical care, Damian Foundation Niger is heavily involved in social reintegration and community education to combat the social stigma associated with these diseases. Their work is critical in strengthening the national healthcare infrastructure and ensuring long-term therapy adherence in remote regions.
