Paschal Achunine, HEI’s Executive Director shares the HEI story.
We are a community of passionate, empathetic individuals dedicated to providing basic healthcare to the poorest segments of society through grassroots initiatives. We believe that every life is precious and should be protected at all costs, which is why our mantra is: ” that None should die.” This reflects our dissatisfaction with the status quo in Nigeria, where people die from medical conditions that require less than N20,000 ($30) to treat.
Every day across Nigerian hospitals, countless of men, women, children and babies die due to an inability to pay bills under N20,000 ($30). Recently, these death rates have become alarming. On the average 1.35 million people are either killed or maimed due to road crashes globally.
To ensure that ” that none should die,” from these non-chronic diseases and crashes, we commit financially to covering the emergency medical bills of qualified indigent patients. To date, we have partnered with 78 hospitals nationwide to ensure these emergency cases are not delayed, once verified. With your continued support, we aim to partner with 144 hospitals by 2024, enabling us to save thousands of more lives.
With you, there’s no limit to what we can achieve
Thanks for your contribution, support and sponsorship, we have been able to achieve various milestones and touch more lives
