Who We Are
Too often, patients are silenced by fear, poverty, ignorance of their rights, or trauma. Many are illegally detained in medical facilities for failure to pay hospital bills. Others suffer lifelong injuries or even death due to medical negligence, without any legal recourse or compensation. PATRRAI is a direct response to these injustices.
Our Mission
To restore dignity, justice, and healing to patients who have suffered trauma, negligence, abuse, or rights violations within the Nigerian healthcare system, through legal advocacy, public education, social intervention, and systemic reform.
Our Vision
A Nigeria where every patient receives compassionate, competent, and accountable healthcare free from abuse, trauma, neglect, and injustice.
