Coming on the heels of the organisation’s introduction of an innovative range of superior and robust healthcare service offerings targeted at fostering access to quality health and wellbeing solutions for Nigerians, Leadway Health achieved this feat in just three years of operation, beating other HMOs that have been in operations for far longer.

Commenting on the win, the Chief Executive Officer of Leadway Health, Dr Tokunbo Alli, said the organisation’s triumph at NHEA 2023 is a testament to the company’s commitment to providing exceptional healthcare services, embracing innovation, and improving patient access to quality healthcare in Nigeria.

He added that as Leadway Health basks in the glory of its well-deserved triumph, the company remains steadfast in its mission to revolutionise healthcare and create a lasting impact on the lives of patients in Nigeria.

“With a strong foundation built on integrity, compassion, and innovation, we are poised to lead the charge in shaping the future of Nigerian healthcare and setting new benchmarks for excellence, we acknowledge that the win would not have been possible without our shareholders, clients, providers and employees,” he concluded.
