NIGERIAN HEALTH CARE EXCELLENCE AWARD

Nigerian Healthcare Excellence Awards 2014 Holds Today At Eko Hotel And Suites, Victoria Island, Lagos.

The Nigerian Healthcare Excellence Awards 2014 would be holding tonight in Lagos. The award is an initiative put together to recognize great outstanding healthcare organizations.

As it reads on the front page of their website www.Nigeriahealthcareawards.com , “The reputation of healthcare organisations is critical in influencing patients seeking services
. For health care organisations of the 21st century A GOOD REPUTATION IS IMPERATIVE.”

Hence, the organizers have gone ahead to create a reward system that will bring to the fore accountability, disclosure, responsibility, transparency and a performance orientation in the nation’s health care space.

According to IFC “the consequences of poor standards can be disastrous”. Stories of unethical business practices are increasingly common in the news media and have resulted in the demise of individuals and whole healthcare organizations.
