What we stand for

Three promises to our neighbours

Fees you can see

Every price is on the board in reception and on this website. If a test or medicine will cost extra, we tell you before, not after.

Plain talk

No big grammar. We explain what is wrong, what we are doing about it and what to do at home, in English, Efik or Pidgin.

We come to you

Every month our team sets up free health checks in markets, schools and churches across Calabar, because not everyone can come to us.

Community outreach

Free health checks where people already are

Many people in Calabar only see a nurse when something is already very wrong. So every month, and more often in carnival season, our team packs a table, a blood pressure machine and a cooler of test kits and heads to Marian Market, Watt Market, schools in Calabar South and churches across the city.

Blood pressure, blood sugar, weight and malaria tests are free on those days. Anyone who needs follow-up gets a slip for a half-price visit at the clinic, and our community health worker calls to make sure they came.

  • Free BP, sugar and malaria checks
  • Health talks in English, Efik and Pidgin
  • Follow-up visits at half the usual fee

What people say about Coral Grove

I sell crayfish at Watt Market and I can't sit in hospital all day. The nurse checked my pressure right there at the market, told me it was high, and the next morning the doctor saw me in under an hour. The drugs cost less than I feared.
Mma Arit N.Trader, Watt Market
I booked antenatal here for my first baby. The midwives explained every test and its price before they did it. When labour started at 2 am, Matron was already waiting for me.
Nkoyo U.First-time mum, Calabar South
As a teacher I'm on NHIA, and at Coral Grove the card simply works. No wahala at the desk, no 'that drug is not available' story. And the doctor always remembers to ask about my knees.
