About Us
Our Vision
Promote good health and wellbeing of children globally, especially in Nigeria and Africa in line with the Sustainable Development Goal 3.
Our Mission
We carry out this vision through sharing evidence-based health education and information online and offline through free community and school medical outreaches. Ask The Paediatricians Foundations has four major areas of focus.
Our History
Ask The Paediatricians Foundation started as an online Facebook group, page and website on July 20, 2015, by Dr Gbemisola Boyede, Consultant Paediatrician, formerly at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital, Lagos Nigeria. What started as one woman’s passion to educate mothers on child health issues, has now metamorphosed into a full-fledged non-governmental organization registered with the corporate affairs commission of Nigeria on the 27th of July 2017.
Our online forum where professionals provide free health education and answers to various health questions posed by parents currently has over 724,000 members from a hundred countries of the world who have testified about the great impact on their children and family at large. In addition to educating parents, we also have training and seminars for medical and non-medical volunteers. In February 2018 and due to popular demand and the fact that a healthy parent is needed to ensure the health and safety of a child, a new baby called Ask The Physicians Family (ATP Family) Facebook group was added to cater for the needs of the older members of the ATP family. We have organized and partnered with other organizations and institutions to hold several free medical outreaches in various states in Nigeria (check out our event galleries) in multiple communities and schools. We have consistently supported the annual Christmas lunch for underprivileged children in Makoko, Lagos where we held our first community outreach in October 2016. We have renovated a dilapidated school building for children of Mancha at LGEA School in Kwara state amongst many other philanthropic projects. Daily, Ask The Paediatricians Foundation is impacting the lives of thousands of children and families globally, through the promotion of child health intelligence. The impact of Ask The Paediatricians Foundation has been recognized via many local, regional and international awards including grants from Facebook Inc. ATP has been featured on BBC and recognized by Global Giving, the largest fundraising platform for non-profits in the world.
