WELCOME TO HEART ATTACK ETHIOPIA, INC​.

We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded by two Ethiopian-American physicians that are dedicated to combating the alarming increase in the premature death rates resulting from heart attacks and strokes in Ethiopia and other African countries. With a mission to save lives and improve cardiovascular health, we are committed to making a lasting impact on the communities we serve. We aspire to inspire and catalyze positive changes focused on cardiovascular health and timely care delivery throughout Africa. We are paving the way for a healthier Ethiopia by saving one heart at a time and leaving no heart behind.

 

OUR APPROACH


We believe in a holistic approach to cardiovascular health. Through community outreach programs, we raise awareness about heart disease risk factors, promote healthy lifestyles, and provide education on early warning signs. We collaborate with local healthcare providers and organizations to enhance medical infrastructure, improve access to diagnostic tools, and deliver life-saving interventions in a timely manner.
