The Health Emergency Initiative (HEI), a non-governmental organisation, has been recognised for its exceptional efforts in providing emergency healthcare access, saving lives, and supporting vulnerable communities across Nigeria.
In a statement issued on Monday, HEI announced that it received the “Most Transformative Healthcare Access Initiative 2025” award at the Non-Profit Organisation Awards, organised by Acquisition International, a UK-based global business publication.
It said the award serves as a reminder that consistent, compassionate action can change lives.
Since its inception, Health Emergency Initiative has worked tirelessly to ensure that people in medical emergencies are not left to the mercy of chance or poverty.
Through timely interventions, collaboration with public hospitals, and an unrelenting drive to bridge the gap in access to critical healthcare, the organisation has restored hope and preserved dignity where it is often threatened most.

“We are deeply grateful for this recognition and even more determined to expand our reach, so that no Nigerian is left without help in a moment of medical crisis.”
