Under the direction of Amir Imam Siraj Wahhaj, beginning in Philadelphia and the Delaware Valley areas, MANA and the Islamic Social Services Association of Philadelphia are working to build a network of free health care clinics by networking with tens of thousands of Muslim physicians, nurses, dentists, optometrists, health care providers, and private ambulance services around the country.

“Because of my illness with prostate cancer, I became very concerned about everyone else who was sick. This program became something to help the little guy who has no health insurance. We want to provide medical treatment for the masses of the people. We want to think about the masses of people,” said Imam Wahhaj.

“The Prophet Muhammad, Peace Be Upon Him, was the messenger of Allah to everyone. That's our desire to serve everyone in need,” he said.

MANA is looking to duplicate the model of the UMMA Clinic in Los Angeles on the east coast. UCLA graduate and medical students in collaboration started UMMA, the University Muslim Medical Association, in 1990 with the Charles R. Drew School of Medicine.
