At Access Heart Foundation, we are dedicated to transforming the healthcare landscape for underserved communities across Nigeria, with a primary focus on heart health. Despite cardiovascular disease being the leading cause of death globally, access to life-saving cardiac interventions remains out of reach for hundreds of millions of Nigerians, particularly in Northern Nigeria. The crisis is especially acute for children: over 80% of Nigerian children born with congenital heart defects die, compared to less than 5% in high-income countries. This disparity is not inevitable, it’s the result of geographic and economic barriers that we are systematically dismantling.

Our approach combines immediate impact with sustainable systems-building. Our mission is to provide life-saving cardiac procedures while training critical healthcare workers—from nurses to community health workers—creating a network of professionals equipped to recognize cardiac emergencies and save lives across communities.

We believe that every individual, regardless of their financial background or location, deserves access to life-saving healthcare. Through strategic partnerships, interventional programmes, awareness campaigns, and dedicated medical outreach, we are committed to making this vision a reality.
