In Apapa, Lagos, Navgas supported the Apapa Health Care Centre by providing critical medical emergency equipment, including pulse oximeters, portable oxygen cylinders, a 5L oxygen concentrator, a nebuliser and an emergency trolley (crash cart). The centre is a key healthcare facility for the local community, attending to 15–20 patients each day.
The project was designed to strengthen the facility’s emergency response capacity and improve the quality of care available on-site, reducing the need to refer patients elsewhere for treatment that could be delivered locally.
Following the intervention, the facility recorded an estimated 80% improvement in emergency response times. Daily critical care throughput increased from 12 to 18 patients, alongside a notable reduction in referral cases. Staff feedback also highlighted increased confidence in managing medical emergencies, supporting more timely and effective treatment within the community.
For Navgas, this project is part of a wider commitment to supporting the communities in which it operates. By helping to equip local health facilities with the right tools, Navgas contributes to strengthened healthcare access and stronger community wellbeing.
