In recognition of International Women’s Month this March, Leadway Health HMO has reinforced its commitment to women’s health by launching a series of impactful initiatives designed to promote wellness, preventive care, and accessibility to quality healthcare services for women.

Leadway Health HMO’s commitment is borne out of the need to address the often-neglected health needs of women which are further complicated by societal and economic constraints in their roles within families, communities, and workplaces. The organisation is determined to change this narrative by prioritising preventive healthcare, raising awareness about key health concerns, and ensuring that women have access to affordable and comprehensive medical services.
Commenting on the initiatives outlined for commemorating Women’s Month, MD/CEO, Leadway Health HMO, Dr. Tokunbo Alli said, “At Leadway Health HMO, we recognise that women’s health is the foundation of a thriving society. This International Women’s Month, we are taking proactive steps to empower women with the knowledge, resources, and access they need to prioritize their well-being.”
“This initiative is more than just a campaign; it is a call to action for women to make their health a priority. Through education, accessibility, and affordability, we hope to inspire a culture of proactive and preventive healthcare among Nigerian women,” added Tokunbo.
Building on this commitment, Leadway Health HMO is rolling out several impactful initiatives to promote women’s health. Throughout March, Leadway Health HMO will offer complimentary health screenings for critical health conditions, including breast cancer, cervical and ovarian cancer as well as hormonal panels, with a special focus on raising awareness and early detection for women.
In addition to the tests, there will also be fitness sessions and targeted webinars addressing pressing women’s health concerns. Key topics include reproductive health, maternal health, Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), endometriosis, fibroids, menstrual disorders, and work-life balance. By providing a platform for open dialogue and expert guidance, these webinars and health talks will equip women with the knowledge and confidence to take charge of their health.
As part of our commitment to advancing healthcare solutions, Leadway Health HMO is also introducing new technologies. An example is the incisionless uterine fibroid treatment, a groundbreaking alternative to traditional surgery. This cutting-edge treatment offers women a safer, less invasive option for managing fibroids, ensuring quicker recovery and improved quality of life.
To highlight this innovation, we will be hosting a special webinar on World Health Day (April 7th), bringing together leading medical experts from all over the world to discuss the benefits of incisionless fibroid treatment and other advancements in women’s healthcare. This session will provide valuable insights for women seeking alternative solutions and reaffirm our dedication to ensuring access to world-class medical care.
Organisations partnered with in the execution of the women’s month campaign include Airtel Nigeria, British American Tobacco, Dangote Cement, Jaiz Bank, Food Concepts, Lakeshore Cancer Center, Advans Lafayette MFB among others.
Leadway Health HMO remains committed in its mission to bridge the healthcare gap by offering sustainable health solutions that empower women to live healthier, longer, and more fulfilling lives.
