Terms of Use & Governance Policy

These Terms of Use constitute a legally binding agreement between you (whether an individual user, healthcare professional, researcher, donor, or institutional partner) and RedAid Nigeria (formerly German Leprosy and Tuberculosis Relief Association / DAHW Nigeria), an incorporated non-governmental organization registered under the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

RedAid Nigeria operates specialized humanitarian interventions across Nigeria focusing on Tuberculosis, Leprosy, Buruli Ulcer, and Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs). Access to this website is conditioned on your acceptance without modification of the terms, conditions, and notices contained herein.

Information presented does not substitute for professional medical advice, clinical consultation, diagnosis, or individualized patient management. Individuals suspecting infection or requiring medical intervention must present at an accredited primary healthcare facility, National Tuberculosis & Leprosy Control Programme (NTBLCP) referral center, or certified hospital.

RedAid Nigeria does not guarantee that clinical research findings or algorithmic screening references apply universally to individual patient circumstances without on-site clinical assessment by licensed medical practitioners.

All textual publications, annual reports, training modules, photographic archives, graphic logos, and codebase elements appearing on this platform are the property of RedAid Nigeria or used under express institutional license.

• Public Health Sharing: Scientific manuals, programmatic briefs, and policy PDFs may be shared and referenced for non-commercial educational, academic, and humanitarian initiatives provided full attribution is accorded to RedAid Nigeria.
• Documentary Photography: All photographs depict authentic community members, healthcare workers, and patients who have provided informed dignity and media consent. These images may not be reproduced, modified, republished, or commercially used under any circumstances without prior written consent from RedAid Nigeria Corporate Communications.
• Trademarks: The name "RedAid Nigeria", the RedAid crimson wordmark, "Health for Naija", and the IKOLI AI identifier are protected proprietary identifiers.

When accessing RedAid Nigeria digital infrastructure, you agree not to:

• Engage in automated web scraping, data harvesting, or denial-of-service activities that degrade server performance.
• Attempt unauthorized access to administrative servers, database clusters, or deployment pipelines.
• Transmit unsolicited commercial solicitations (spam) via contact forms, procurement tender endpoints, or community communication channels.
• Submit misleading, fraudulent, or defamatory communications through whistleblowing or grievance reporting tools.

The IKOLI AI assistant and diagnostic reference tools are experimental clinical decision-support and screening prototypes designed to aid trained healthcare workers in resource-constrained primary care settings.

IKOLI AI does not replace licensed medical practitioner evaluation. Users of IKOLI AI agree that patient confidentiality must be maintained in compliance with the Nigeria Data Protection Act (NDPA) 2023. No personally identifiable medical data (names, national identification numbers, biometric records) should be submitted into unauthenticated demonstrator chat modules.
