The real measure of impact lies in the voices of those whose lives we touch:
Increased Patient Volume & Sessions
M.D, Plato Hospital
With Helium Credit, we have seen an increase in patient volume accessing maternal health services. Our antenatal days expanded from once a week to twice weekly, and the number of antenatal patients per class increased by 25%.
Enhanced Emergency Maternal Care
M.D, Lifeguard Clinics
The loan helped us expand our laboratory services, allowing us to provide easier access to antenatal investigations for pregnant women, so they no longer have to travel far for these essential tests.
Enhanced Care and Revenue Growth
M.D, Cleve-Hill Clinic
The HeliumCredit loan has been a game-changer for us. It allowed us to fully equip our labour ward at our Jeddo location with a state-of-the-art scan machine and essential lab equipment.
Improved Access to Maternal Care
M.D, Cordial Hospital
The loan enabled us to acquire a new location, as our previous site was limiting access to care. Due to religious and cultural differences in Kano State, many indigenous residents were uncomfortable visiting our former facility.
