When treatment
can’t wait.
HEI helps vulnerable Nigerians get emergency care when every minute matters.
Live impact
The Gap we Bridge
Treatment is often possible.
Reaching it in time is not.
Before help arrives
Nine in ten Nigerians have never been taught basic first aid. The closest person may not know what to do.
At the hospital
Everything can be ready, and a patient still waits, because treatment can’t begin without an initial deposit.
Between hospitals
Not every hospital can handle every emergency. HEI helps patients reach the right one in time.
After survival
Survival is only the first step. Without follow-up, people can return to the same conditions that put them at risk.
How we work
Bridging the gaps in the path to care.
Prepared communities
We equip people with first aid and emergency response skills so they can act in the critical minutes before professional care arrives.
☛ First Responders Training
☛ Emergency Education for Schools
Access to urgent treatment
We help indigent and vulnerable patients get urgent treatment when delay could change the outcome.

Stronger response systems

Since 2015, HEI has stepped in so treatment could begin when payment stood in the way. A decade later, we work across the whole path from crisis to care.

MORE THAN A DECADE OF MOVING PEOPLE FROM CRISIS TO CARE
HEI began in 2015 at the hospital gate, stepping in so treatment could begin for patients who could not afford their bill when it was needed. A decade on, we work across the whole path from crisis to care, because that path can break at more than one point.
We still help indigent and vulnerable patients access urgent treatment, and we still support crash victims. We have also trained more than 147,500 first responders, brought CPR and emergency response training into Nigerian secondary schools, supported children through malnutrition recovery, and raised awareness around sepsis and non-communicable diseases, building alongside hospitals, government agencies, and global partners working toward the same standard of emergency care.
