Our Vision and Mission
Health Emergency Initiative (HEI) is a community of passionate and empathetic individuals committed to providing basic healthcare for society’s poorest and most vulnerable through grassroots initiatives.
We believe every life is precious and must be protected. That is why our mantra is: “That None Should Die.” This reflects our dissatisfaction with the current reality in Nigeria, where thousands lose their lives to medical conditions that could be treated with as little as ₦30,000 ($19).
Our Initiatives
Since founding in 2015, we have actively saved thousands of lives through our grassroots initiatives, addressing the pain points of indigent and vulnerable Nigerians.
Covering Emergency Medical Bills of Indigent Patients
Every day across Nigeria, countless men, women, and children die in hospitals simply because they cannot afford small emergency medical bills. Road crashes further worsen the statistics, with an estimated 1.35 million people globally killed or maimed annually.
HEI bridges this gap by covering the emergency medical bills of indigent patients for acute, non-chronic conditions and road traffic accidents. To date, we have partnered with 91 hospitals nationwide, ensuring verified emergency cases are treated without delay. With your support, we aim to expand to 275 hospitals, saving thousands more lives across Nigeria.
To tackle preventable road crash deaths, we also work with key emergency institutions, including the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) and the Lagos State Ambulance Services. We cover the initial 24-hour cost of resuscitation and stabilization, and over 85% of victims assisted under this scheme have survived.
