At its media launch held in Lagos, managers of the company said Leadway Health Limited is unveiling a range of superior and robust healthcare service offerings targeted at improving and fostering access to quality health and wellbeing solutions to Nigerians.
Tokunbo Alli, medical doctor/ CEO, Leadway Health, stated at the unveiling that the introduction of the company would serve as a disruption and an exceptional redefinition of the delivery of reliable and affordable health care to the public.
He said “According to the National Health Insurance Scheme, more than 190 million Nigerians are still paying out-of-pocket to access medical services, forcing individuals, businesses and households to incur enormous and usually unplanned health expenditures. This is an unnecessary, unsustainable and costly means to accessing quality healthcare services.”
According to Alli: “with the introduction of Leadway Health Limited, our range of solutions would help bridge the gap in providing quality, accessible, and affordable health services to Nigerians.”
“We are confident in a healthcare system that genuinely cares for your health, your wealth and more.”

Administration and registered health maintenance organization under the National
Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS), our partnership with over 1,500 health providers and diverse range of bespoke corporate, retail and international products allows us to extend health insurance penetration to millions of Nigerians and Africa at large.
