What We Do
WE HELP THE UNDERSERVED GET ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE
The Nigerian healthcare system is underdeveloped, particularly in rural areas, with inadequate health facilities, personnel, and medical equipment despite the country's strategic position in Africa.
Underserved
In Nigeria, a patient with heart disease has a 0.00006 chance of receiving a heart procedure.
WHO Rank
In 2023, the World Health Organization ranked Nigeria 163 out of 190 countries in healthcare.
Population
Nigeria has a population over approximately 230 million.
Invest in Voom
VOOM Foundation tirelessly addresses healthcare system needs through education and training, demonstrating an unwavering commitment to our patients. With over 230 million citizens in Nigeria lacking access to quality care, your support is vital. An indigent family makes less than $300 per year, making routine healthcare unaffordable for almost half the country.
VOOM Foundation is committed to serving those who have no options. We source equipment and supplies and build infrastructure to run programs that are based on quality and available to all. The support of our loyal donors is essential to our efforts. Consider making a donation or creating an individual or team fundraising page to support our program.
Become a Volunteer
VOOM Foundation welcomes medical and non-medical aid workers who have an interest in donating their time and knowledge and a particular interest in indigent medical care.
What Our Friends Over the World Are Saying
Global Impact
I’m a survivor of open heart surgery. I give credit to the donors and VOOM Foundation for saving my life. Without them by now I wouldn’t have been alive. I thank them so much for saving my life. I’m grateful to them.

Former Patient
We don’t want to save just one life, we want to save thousands. We don’t just want to make an impression, we want to make an impact.
Shawn Andaya-Pulliam
Executive Director
On behalf of my family, I’m very grateful to VOOM Foundation for all the works they are doing worldwide. Most especially the work they are doing for my dad today.
