“Today in Nigeria,

someone is diagnosed with

cardiac disease every 90 seconds

— Ms. Coralie

Cardiac arrest survivor

That’s more than 1,000 people, every day, hearing the devastating news they have cardiac disease

We believe that through funding life-saving research and supporting world-leading treatment and care at The Gracespring Hospitals, we can save the lives of people with cardiac disease everywhere.

The current statistics on CHD in Nigeria expose a critical and urgent need: stronger healthcare infrastructure, better-informed clinicians and families, wider access to accurate diagnostics, and an urgent expansion of paediatric cardiac surgical capacity.

These are not optional improvements—they are essential steps toward saving lives. By addressing these gaps with commitment and collective action, we can transform outcomes and secure a healthier future for every child born with a congenital heart defect in Nigeria.
