Nigeria accounts for 29% of maternal deaths worldwide.
When we listened to more than 1,000 mothers, only 1 in 10 had any health insurance. Most deaths are preventable when women can decide to seek care, reach it in time and receive good care when they arrive. MIHEI works on all three.

Voices of Our Mothers & Families
MIHEI gave my wife and I peace of mind. We were worried and confused before, but their support, patience, and clear guidance changed everything. Today my wife is fully registered for antenatal care, and we finally feel safe and supported. Thank you, MIHEI.
Before enrolling, I was worried about how I would afford antenatal care and delivery. Having health insurance gave me peace of mind and helped me plan to deliver in a facility.
MIHEI's HMO program gave us peace of mind. We were worried before, but the guidance helped us register for care and feel supported.
Joining the MIHEI HMO gave me peace of mind during my pregnancy. I was worried about antenatal care, but MIHEI guided me with patience, kindness, and clear support. Today, I'm fully registered and confident. Thank you, MIHEI.
Every mother we enrol, we follow.
When a pregnant woman enrols, a MIHEI coordinator stays in touch through birth and postpartum. This follow-up has already caught a serious delivery complication, and MIHEI supported the family through the unexpected costs.
