As nominations for the Nigeria Healthcare Excellence Award 2019 continues, organisers have introduced four new categories.

 

According to a statement released by the Director, Marketing, Communication and Strategy, NHEA, Mr Moses Braimah, the four new awards were introduced due to representations made by players in the pharmaceutical and the financial services sectors.

 

He said, “Two new categories have been added to the pharmaceutical category.  They are Pharmaceutical Distribution Outlet of the Year and Technology-Driven Pharmaceutical Distributor of the Year, making it four in this category. While in the Special Award category, Healthcare Financial Institution of the Year was removed and replaced with Outstanding Healthcare Project-Friendly Bank of the Year and Outstanding Healthcare SME-Friendly Bank of the Year.”

 

The NHEA Project Coordinator, Dr Shola Alabi, said, ‘We are a listening organisation. We also believe in continuous improvement to encourage participation. A lot of impactful innovation and disruptions have taken place in the pharmaceutical sector in the last few years, especially on how drugs are distributed.”

 

The NHEA Executive Secretary, Vivian Alikali, urged stakeholders to visit the award website to make their nominations before midnight of May 24, 2019.

 

NHEA is organised by Global Health Project and Resources in collaboration with Anadach Group, USA.
