Private Sector Health Alliance of Nigeria (PSHAN) is proud to announce the nominees for the 2024 PSHAN Annual Gala and Awards Night, which will be held on Friday, October 25, 2024, at Civic Centre, Lagos. Themed “Celebrating Excellence in Healthcare,” the event will bring together top leaders, professionals, and innovators from across Nigeria to honour their outstanding contributions to the healthcare sector.
The awards will recognise individuals, organisations, and agencies across five main categories and 25 subcategories, highlighting their pivotal roles in strengthening the Nigerian healthcare system.
The event promises to feature inspiring keynote addresses, prestigious award presentations, engaging entertainment, and valuable networking opportunities—all aimed at fostering collaboration for lasting improvements in healthcare.
In line with PSHAN’s dedication to transparency, the nomination process was opened to the public for two weeks, allowing Nigerian citizens aged 18 and above to nominate deserving candidates.
