CHD Screening Programs for Nigeria
Help us raise $40,000 to expand CHD screening programs across Nigeria.
About the CHD Screening Program in Nigeria
One Heart Health is expanding its congenital heart disease (CHD) screening program across Nigeria, aiming to reach thousands of children in underserved communities. This initiative builds on our strong local partnerships and growing network of trained healthcare professionals, using our mobile app and digital stethoscope to bring advanced heart screenings where they’re needed most.
With a goal to screen 10,000 children over the next year, our program empowers local doctors and nurses with AI-powered tools to detect heart abnormalities early—when intervention is most effective.
Why It Matters
CHD remains a leading cause of death in young children—especially in areas with limited access to specialized pediatric care. In Nigeria, delayed diagnosis often means missed opportunities for treatment. Our screening program tackles this issue head-on by training frontline healthcare workers to identify CHD using cost-effective, accessible technology.
Program Highlights
- 10,000+ children screened for CHD between 2025 and 2026
- Estimated 120+ children to be diagnosed with CHD and receive life-saving interventional care
- Partnership with Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospitals Complex in Ife-Ife
- Training and support for rural clinics across Ekiti and Osun states
- Use of One Heart App with machine learning algorithms for heart sound recording and analysis
- Data collection contributing to a global heart sound database to advance CHD research

As we continue to forge new partnerships and explore ways to further reduce costs, our model is becoming even more impactful. With the data we’ve gathered, we now know that for just $4, a child can be screened for congenital heart disease (CHD) and connected to care. Even more powerfully, $266 is all it takes to save a life.
Your support makes this possible. Thank you for standing with us to bring lifesaving care to children around the world.
