Introduction: Nnamdi Umelo, Nigeria - HIFA Country Representative (2)

2 August, 2026

Dear Nnamdi,

Welcome to HIFA and to our team of country representatives. I can confirm that Nigeria currently has 1583 members on HIFA and we look forward to increase this further with your help. I note that you are currently at medical school, which is a great opportunity to invite your fellow students and faculty to join.

All: HIFA has more than 275 country representatives worldwide. Our role is to spread the word about HIFA and invite people to join. https://hifa.org/people/country-representatives/map

We recently started a WhatsApp group to coordinate and support each other and I see you are already interacting.

We welcome new country representatives to join us. Contact: neil@hifa.org

Best wishes, Neil
