Marcelle Ruth – Leadway Insurance Partnership

Yesterday at Marcelle Ruth Cancer Centre & Specialist Hospital , we were very excited to launch a partnership with Leadway Insurance following many months of innovative thinking resulting in a “first-of-its kind” comprehensive health plan that 1) focuses on preventive care, 2) provides a significant cover for cancer patients and 3) covers a wide range of other medical services at over 2000 partner hospitals across the country!

This collaboration signifies the commitment by both institutions to do our best to widen access to healthcare of excellent standards for Nigerian patients here in Nigeria with an offering that compares favourably to insurance packages all over the world!

At Marcelle Ruth, we are grateful for the high-level thinking, commitment and sheer doggedness of our Chairman, Mr Bolaji Odunsi who is constantly exploring ways to improve access to healthcare for patients as well long-term low interest funding for healthcare providers; both of which will ultimately result in affordable care for all. Thank you, for all you do!

Sincere gratitude also to the leadership team at Leadway led by Dr Olatokunbo Alli M.D, MPH(Yale), GHD(Harvard) MRSPH for bringing their wealth of experience in the field to design this very attractive offering.

We were honoured to have the support yesterday of amongst others: Mr Oye Hassan-Odukale, Chairman Leadway Holdings Limited and FBN, UK; a true pillar for our family in many ways; my “sister from another mother”, Dr Kemi Ogunyemi DHA, SA on Health to the Lagos State Governor and Dr. Lola Adeyemi, SSA on Research and Innovation to the Minister of State for Health who was gracious to be co-opted at the last minute…words cannot express my gratitude to you all for taking the time out of your busy schedules to celebrate this landmark collaboration with us yesterday.

We remain resolute at Marcelle Ruth Cancer Centre & Specialist Hospital to our vision to provide “one-stop healthcare of international standards” and this exciting collaboration with Leadway will surely help to get us there…
