OUR PROJECTS
Heart Attack Ethiopia is dedicated to implementing impactful projects and initiatives that address the root causes of heart disease and stroke, and improve cardiovascular health in Ethiopia and other African countries. Through collaboration and innovative approaches, we aim to make a lasting difference in the communities we serve. Here are some of our upcoming projects and initiatives.
Heart Attack Ethiopia (HAE) organizes biannual medical missions that bring together dedicated healthcare professionals to provide critical cardiovascular care to underprivileged patients in Ethiopia at no cost. Since its inception, HAE has successfully conducted two medical missions, during which our team performed an impressive 120 life-saving cardiac interventions. These interventions include essential procedures such as Percutaneous Coronary Interventions (PCIs), Coronary Bypass Grafting (CABG), Permanent Pacemaker (PPM) implantations, and Cardiac Ablations, all aimed at improving the health and quality of life for those in need.
CARDIOVASCULAR SERVICES
Ethiopia and most of Africa has very limited to no access to lifesaving emergency cardiovascular services and there are disproportionately low numbers of fully trained interventional cardiologists and cardiac surgeons in the region. Therefore, Heart Attack Ethiopia will partner with local government and other nongovernmental organizations to support the establishment of advanced cardiovascular centers and service lines and will use a mission based group of cardiovascular specialists to provide a sustainable cutting-edge cardiovascular care to the people of Ethiopia and beyond.
MEDICAL INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT
We collaborate with local healthcare facilities and stakeholders to both build and improve existing medical facilities and infrastructures for advanced cardiovascular care to manage all cardiovascular emergencies and beyond. This includes providing essential medical equipment, supporting the establishment of cardiac care units, and facilitating the training of local staff in specialized cardiac procedures.
As the nonprofit arm of INTIMA International LLC, Heart Attack Ethiopia, Inc., supports the project to establish the first ever comprehensive cardiovascular center of excellence (INTIMA Cardiovascular Campus) in Ethiopia, subject to Heart Attack Ethiopia executive board’s approval.
MOBILE CLINICS AND OUTREACH PROGRAMS
To reach underserved communities, we organize mobile clinics and outreach programs. These initiatives bring medical professionals, diagnostic equipment, and essential healthcare services directly to remote areas, ensuring that individuals have access to screenings, consultations, and basic medical care.
CAPACITY BUILDING FOR HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS
We provide training and capacity-building programs for healthcare professionals, focusing on the latest advancements in cardiovascular care. By enhancing their knowledge and skills, we aim to strengthen the local healthcare workforce and improve the quality of cardiac care across the region.
TELEMEDICINE AND REMOTE CONSULTATIONS
We provide training and capacity-building programs for healthcare professionals, focusing on the latest advancements in cardiovascular care. By enhancing their knowledge and skills, we aim to strengthen the local healthcare workforce and improve the quality of cardiac care across the region.
COMMUNITY HEALTH EDUCATION CAMPAIGNS
We conduct community health education campaigns to raise awareness about heart disease and stroke, targeting both urban and rural areas. These campaigns include interactive workshops, health fairs, and educational materials that emphasize the importance of healthy lifestyle choices, early detection, and preventive measures.

RESEARCH AND DATA COLLECTION
Heart Attack Ethiopia actively engages in research and data collection to better understand the prevalence and risk factors associated with heart disease and stroke in the region. This data helps us tailor our interventions, advocate for evidence-based policies, and measure the impact of our initiatives.
POLICY ADVOCACY AND PARTNERSHIPS
We work closely with government entities, NGOs, and other stakeholders to advocate for policies that prioritize cardiovascular health. By forming strategic partnerships, we aim to influence policy decisions, secure funding, and create a supportive environment for preventive measures, early intervention, and access to quality care.
Together, let’s create a healthier future where heart attacks and strokes are preventable, and everyone has access to quality cardiovascular care.
