AXA Mansard Health Named Outstanding Health Insurance Company of the Year
AXA Mansard Health has been named Outstanding Health Insurance Company of the Year at the Marketing Edge Awards, recognising its work in the health insurance sector and efforts to expand healthcare access for individuals, families and organisations.
The award comes as financial barriers continue to limit access to medical services in Nigeria. Health insurance is increasingly seen as a way to reduce out-of-pocket expenses and improve access to timely treatment.
AXA Mansard Health CEO Tope Adeniyi said expanding access to health insurance was important to improving healthcare outcomes and strengthening the resilience of households and businesses. He said insurance can help people plan for healthcare costs and access medical services, rather than relying solely on their ability to pay at the point of need.
“Access to healthcare should not be determined solely by a person’s ability to meet medical expenses at the point of need. Health insurance provides a structure that helps people plan for healthcare costs and access medical services when they need them.
“As an industry, we have an important role to play in making health protection more accessible, affordable and relevant to the needs of Nigerians,” Adeniyi said.
He added that the company remained committed to helping individuals and organisations navigate healthcare needs through solutions designed to support access to medical services. He described the award as an important milestone, while noting that the broader goal is to contribute to a system where more Nigerians can access essential services without facing overwhelming financial pressure.
AXA Mansard Health Chief Marketing Officer Adebola Surakat thanked Marketing Edge for the recognition and credited the company’s workforce and healthcare partners for their collective efforts.
“We appreciate Marketing Edge for this recognition and acknowledge the commitment of our teams and healthcare partners who work together to support our customers.
“Every effort to improve access, strengthen service delivery and make healthcare easier to navigate contributes to the experience we want our enrollees to have. This award encourages us to keep building on that work,” she said.
The Marketing Edge Awards is organised by Nigerian marketing communications publication Marketing Edge to recognise achievements across marketing, advertising, brand communications and related fields.
AXA Mansard Health said the award reflects its focus on health insurance solutions and customer services as it continues to support efforts to make healthcare protection more accessible and practical.
