Leadway Health HMO, one of Nigeria’s foremost health insurance providers, has once again been recognised as the Health Maintenance Organisation (HMO) of the Year at the prestigious Nigerian Healthcare Excellence Awards (NHEA), marking an unprecedented third consecutive win.
The award was presented during a ceremony held on Friday, June 27, 2025, in Lagos. It honours Leadway Health HMO’s outstanding contributions to the healthcare sector, including its consistent excellence in service delivery, integration of technology, expanding provider network, and commitment to accessible and customer-focused care.
Reacting to the achievement, Dr. Tokunbo Alli, CEO of Leadway Health HMO, expressed pride in the recognition, describing it as a powerful affirmation of the company’s mission and impact.
“Winning the HMO of the Year award for the third year in a row is more than just an accolade, it’s a strong validation of our unwavering commitment to transforming healthcare delivery in Nigeria, across Africa, and beyond,” said Dr. Alli.
“In a country where fewer than 10% of the population has access to health insurance, we understand the enormous responsibility we carry. Through digital innovation, operational efficiency, and inclusive health plans, we are not just improving access to quality care but also redefining industry standards.”
Dr. Alli further emphasised Leadway Health’s plans to continue expanding hospital partnerships, improving claims transparency, and deepening its use of technology to make healthcare more accessible, affordable, and customer-centric.
“This recognition strengthens our resolve to lead Nigeria’s healthcare transformation delivering real impact, one life at a time.”
This milestone comes at a critical time for the HMO industry in Nigeria, as rising healthcare costs, population growth, and the push toward Universal Health Coverage (UHC) by 2030 put increasing pressure on healthcare providers. Leadway Health’s consistent performance and innovation position it as a key player in achieving national health goals.
Established in 2014 by Global Health Project and Resources in partnership with the Anadach Group (USA), the Nigerian Healthcare Excellence Awards are regarded as the most prestigious in the country’s healthcare sector.
Leadway Health HMO remains a trusted and innovative provider, dedicated to delivering comprehensive healthcare solutions that meet the needs of a diverse Nigerian population.
