Leadway Health HMO Secures Third Consecutive HMO of the Year Award
Leadway Health HMO, one of Nigeria’s foremost health insurance providers, has achieved a groundbreaking milestone by winning the Health Maintenance Organisation (HMO) of the Year award at the Nigerian Healthcare Excellence Awards (NHEA) for an unprecedented third year in a row. This historic three-peat underscores Leadway Health HMO’s unwavering commitment to delivering innovative, accessible, and customer-centric healthcare solutions nationwide.
The award, presented during a ceremony in Lagos on June 27, 2025, marks a record in the 15-year history of the NHEA, highlighting Leadway Health HMO’s excellence in service delivery, technological integration, and expanding provider network.
Chief Executive Officer Dr. Tokunbo Alli expressed pride and gratitude over the achievement, stating, “Winning the HMO of the Year award three consecutive times is a significant milestone for us. It affirms our dedication to revolutionizing healthcare access in Nigeria and beyond. Despite the challenges, our focus on digital innovation, operational excellence, and inclusive health plans continues to set us apart.”
He added, “This recognition fuels our resolve to strengthen hospital partnerships, improve transparency in claims processing, and harness technology to provide even more affordable, accessible, and patient-focused healthcare. We are committed to being at the forefront of Nigeria’s health transformation, impacting lives positively every day.”
Leadway Health HMO’s remarkable success comes at a critical time when trust and performance in Nigeria’s HMO sector are under increased scrutiny. With Nigeria’s growing population, escalating healthcare costs, and ambitious goals for Universal Health Coverage (UHC) by 2030, Leadway Health HMO positions itself as a pivotal player in Nigeria’s healthcare evolution.
The Nigerian Healthcare Excellence Awards, established in 2014 by Global Health Project and Resources, in partnership with Anadach Group USA, is regarded as Nigeria’s most prestigious industry accolade. This year’s theme, “Collaborating for Impact: Strengthening Health Systems through the SWAP Approach,” emphasizes collective efforts toward sustainable healthcare improvements.
