MESSAGE FROM THE CMD
Dear Friends and Partners,Â
In a nation where emergency situations far too often turn into tragedy, St. Raphael Ambulances Foundation was born out of the need to change that story — one life at a time. We have witnessed how preventable deaths occur in homes, on roads, and in communities — not because help is impossible, but because help is unavailable, delayed, or uncoordinated.Â
This Foundation represents more than an initiative. It is a legacy of service, a commitment to equity, and a response to an urgent national need. Our goal is simple: to ensure that every Nigerian, regardless of where they live, has access to prompt, reliable emergency medical care when it matters most. We invite you to join us — as a partner, a supporter, a volunteer — as we build a future where every life is given a fighting chance.
