Built on trust

Made in Nigeria, by people who have built here for decades

HealthGrid was founded by Nengi Jumbo, with twenty-two years of infrastructure delivery experience in the Niger Delta, including large-scale primary healthcare infrastructure. Jewel answers the question that work kept raising: why should anyone travel for hours just to learn whether they need a doctor?
