EHA Clinics has been named the “Innovative Healthcare Service Provider of the Year” at the 2025 Nigerian Healthcare Excellence Awards (NHEA) in recognition of its transformative use of technology and community-driven approaches to primary healthcare delivery in Nigeria.
The prestigious award was presented during the 11th edition of the NHEA ceremony held in Lagos. Organized annually, the NHEA celebrates outstanding achievements by individuals and institutions driving improvement and excellence across the Nigerian healthcare landscape.
EHA Clinics emerged as the winner based on several criteria, including operational sustainability, measurable impact, and innovation in service delivery. According to the organizers, the award was a result of the clinic’s pioneering work in blending digital health tools with patient-focused service models.

EHA’s flagship innovations include the EHACare Suite of Applications, a digital ecosystem that integrates electronic medical records, appointment management, and real-time patient feedback. Another notable initiative is the REACH Program, which brings essential primary healthcare services to underserved communities, removing access barriers and reducing health inequalities.
“Innovation is not just about technology,” said Nirmal Ravi, Chief Innovation Officer at EHA Clinics. “It’s about building systems that work, adapting to context, and constantly asking how we can do better for the people we serve.”
The award also reflects EHA emphasis on data-driven operations, health system strengthening, and a model that prioritizes affordability, accessibility, and quality of care. The clinic further acknowledged the NHEA jury for conducting a transparent and evidence-based selection process.
EHA Clinics has become a benchmark for modern healthcare models in Nigeria, blending clinical excellence with tech-enabled service design. The organization reaffirmed its mission to expand access, improve outcomes, and drive innovation in Nigeria’s primary healthcare space.
