The Slum and Rural Health Initiative (SRHIN) is a health-focused organisation based in Ibadan, Oyo State, and Abuja, FCT, Nigeria. It works to improve healthcare access in underserved and low-resource communities across Africa, with a specific focus on slums and rural areas.
SRHIN’s work spans three core domains: artificial intelligence, mental healthcare, and primary healthcare. In the area of AI, the organisation develops tools to support frontline health workers and strengthen health systems. Its mental health initiatives include the BraveHeart programme for youth psychoeducation and therapy, as well as GENSCORE for multilingual mental health screening. Primary healthcare efforts cover maternal and child health, non-communicable disease prevention, and community outreach.
The organisation operates several specialized centers, including the ALPHA Center for AI in low-resource public health, the PRIME Center for reproductive and maternal health equity, the MHILE Centre for mental health innovation, the COHAZD Center for zoonotic diseases, and the CEMPHER Center for modelling population health and environmental risks. SRHIN collaborates with governments, universities, and communities to build scalable health models and generate research evidence to inform policy.
