Hi Product Hunt! I’m Aliyu, the maker of Health Risk Map Nigeria.
The inspiration for this project came from a simple but painful question:
Why do people still travel from one hospital to another during emergencies without knowing which hospital can actually help them?
In many parts of Nigeria, patients often arrive at a hospital only to discover there are no available beds, emergency services are overwhelmed, or they’re referred elsewhere. Every unnecessary trip can mean more time, more cost, and sometimes worse health outcomes.
I wanted to build something that helps people make better decisions before they leave home.
Health Risk Map Nigeria combines healthcare facility mapping with community-powered reporting so users can:
* 🏥 Find nearby hospitals automatically
* 🛏️ View community-reported bed availability
* 🚨 Check emergency service availability
* ⏱️ See estimated waiting times
* 📍 Navigate directly to the most suitable facility
* 🤝 Help others by submitting reports and earning rewards
We’re also building a simple dashboard that allows hospitals to update their own emergency availability when they choose to participate.
This is still an early-stage project, and I’m launching here because I genuinely want feedback from the Product Hunt community.
If you have experience in healthcare, public health, GIS, mapping, emergency response, or product development, I’d love to hear your thoughts. What would make a platform like this more useful in your country?
Thank you for checking out Health Risk Map Nigeria! Every suggestion helps us move closer to making emergency healthcare information more accessible.

One thing that would make this so much more useful is offline access for areas with poor internet. Being able to download a state's hospital directory and emergency numbers before traveling could literally save lives when there's no signal.

@araszengin54995 Thank you, Aras! That’s an excellent suggestion.
Offline access is actually on our roadmap. In many parts of Nigeria, internet connectivity can be unreliable, especially during emergencies or when traveling through rural areas.
The idea of allowing users to download a state’s hospital directory, emergency contacts, and essential healthcare information for offline use would make the platform much more resilient and useful when connectivity is limited.
I also like your suggestion of downloading data before traveling. That’s a practical use case we hadn’t highlighted, and I’ll definitely explore it as we continue improving Health Risk Map Nigeria.
Thanks again for the thoughtful feedback!
