EMERGENCY UK are delighted to be strategic partners with the Randal Charitable Foundation
Building on a previous collaboration and funding in 2022, this multi-year partnership between EMERGENCY UK and the Randal Foundation launched in 2025 which is helping to save and improve tens of thousands of lives through essential support of the free, high-quality medical care provided at EMERGENCY’s hospitals and clinics around the world.
At the same time, the Randal Foundation is also directly supporting the growth of EMERGENCY UK, with founder and chairman Dr Nik Kotecha OBE DL embracing a global advocacy role for the charity.
We’re delighted to be working closely with EMERGENCY UK once again, delivering together on our mission to directly save and significantly improve more than a million lives in the UK and globally.
This partnership reflects our goals – investing in EMERGENCY’s exceptional model of care that combines medical excellence with dignity and equality for all patients. Their innovative approach to building local capacity aligns perfectly with our mission to create lasting sustainable impact, which will benefit vulnerable communities for generations to come.

Year Two is Underway
In the first two years of the partnership, funds from the Randal Foundation have gone to support pharmacy, medical consumables and equipment in EMERGENCY’s hospitals in Afghanistan, Sierra Leone and Uganda, which provide free medical care including first aid, trauma care, primary healthcare, maternity services and elective paediatric surgery.
Year one funding helped support the delivery of care to more than 110,000 people across the three facilities — equivalent to one person every five minutes.
An Ongoing Collaboration
Over the course of the three-year partnership, the Randal Foundation plans to invest £1.5 million, a phenomenal amount of support that will help EMERGENCY to continue delivering free healthcare to those in need.
In June 2025, the teams met in Milan, where EMERGENCY coordinates its projects, to celebrate the partnership together.
