What we do

EHRIN leverages existing platforms at national and sub-national levels to ensure that women, families and individuals, wherever they live, have access to essential life-saving health services and commodities. We strengthen and collaborate with the established pre-service community work schemes of colleges of health technology across Nigeria. Because interns from these colleges serve in every remote village in the country, EHRIN, by empowering and collaborating with them, reduces inequality in health imposed on people by circumstances of their social realities.

EHRIN focuses on health areas that disproportionately place huge burden on marginalized families. We address preventable causes morbidity and mortality such as hypertensive disorders in pregnancy (notably pre-eclampsia/eclampsia), obstetric hemorrhage (especially postpartum hemorrhage), cervical cancer and timely access to modern contraceptive services. In addition, we deploy evidence-based guidelines, such as those developed by the World Health Organization and the World Heart Federation to prevent and screen cardiovascular and metabolic diseases risk factors among adult population as well as continuing to investigate the association between previous hypertensive disorders in pregnancy and subsequent development of cardiovascular and metabolic disorders.

Finally, EHRIN partner with selected universities and tertiary health institutions to improve the quality and quantity of global health and medical research outputs from Nigeria. We do this by developing skills and knowledge of medical specialist trainees in modern methodologies for clinical epidemiology research.
