done after a rigorous selection process by the NHEA jury and voting by the

Advisory Board during a recent media briefing, “We used international
recognised standards and criteria to evaluate our nominees before presenting
them to the public to vote for anyone of their choice.
“We are confident that those who will receive
special recognitions and the winners of the medical, pharmaceutical and
biomedical award categories will doubt continue to be motivators and positive
influencers to drive the Nigerian healthcare.”
