A statement signed by Moses Braimah, Director,
Communication, Marketing & Strategy stated that the recognitions are being
done after a rigorous selection process by the NHEA jury and voting by the
public.
According to Dr. Anthony Omolola, Chairman NHEA
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.”
Moreover, Omolola said that the two newly
introduced categories are testaments of the determination of the organisers to
continuously improve and expand the scope to accommodate more stakeholders who
are making unique contributions to care giving in Nigeria.
Safecare Facilities of the Year and Healthcare
Media Excellence Award (Online) are two newly introduced categories.
