Ticare app launches in Port Harcourt to improve emergency healthcare response in Nigeria

The launch of Ticare, a healthtech app designed to improve emergency medical response in Nigeria, is set to take place on June 20th, 2025. Developed by Harvoxx Tech Hub and powered by Thrive Impact Ltd, the app aims to connect individuals in need of urgent medical assistance with the nearest available ambulance, reducing response times and improving access to emergency care.

A step towards better emergency care in Nigeria

Ticare allows users to quickly request verified ambulances with real-time tracking updates.

The app targets critical emergencies, including accidents, medical conditions, and childbirth complications.

Founder Worgu Kevin Kinikanwo noted that Ticare was created to address a pressing issue—delayed ambulance services—and to ensure that no one dies waiting for help.

Beta testing shows positive results

Before its official launch, Ticare underwent extensive beta testing in various Nigerian cities. The feedback from users was overwhelmingly positive.

Dr. Adaobi Enemuo, a Port Harcourt-based medical doctor, praised the app’s speed, while retired teacher Mama Tombari highlighted its ease of use, even for those not tech-savvy. Additionally, paramedic trainee Tony Akins emphasized how Ticare helped streamline emergency response efforts during critical situations.

Aiming for nationwide impact

Beyond individuals, Ticare is also open for hospitals and private ambulance owners to register, creating a more decentralised emergency response system.

The company plans to roll out health awareness programmes, live response simulations, and a live chat feature to enhance the service. Kevin Kinikanwo emphasized that the app is part of a larger ecosystem to improve Nigeria's healthcare infrastructure.

Ticare will be available on the Google Play Store starting June 20th, 2025, with an Apple App Store release scheduled for July 20th, 2025.
