EHCON was founded in June 2019 by Dr Abiola Fasina.

She identified a dearth of training opportunities in emergency and critical care medicine as a key impediment to developing a robust healthcare system that addresses the full spectrum of patient’s needs.

There is a critical shortage of trained emergency and critical care physicians in Nigeria.

EHCON is currently the only organization in Nigeria comprised of residency and fellowship trained emergency care specialists from some of the best medical institutions in the world.

We proudly represent our specialty and seek to advance its practice in Nigeria and grow the pool of trained specialists in emergency care.

EHCON's emergency physicians have expertise in prehospital care, medical education and training, programme development, evaluation and capacity building, health policy and point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS).
