CITIZENS COMPASS– As the world celebrates Children’s Day 2025, Dr. Patrick Korie, Managing Director of SUNU Health Nigeria Limited,
has issued a passionate plea for prioritizing children’s health and wellbeing. According to Dr. Korie, every parent has a critical role to play in ensuring their children lead healthy lives, and this begins with securing active health coverage.
Emphasising his stand, Dr. Korie said, “Children deserve a healthy start in life, and this can be achieved by investing in their health. We are not only safeguarding their future but also contributing to the overall well-being of our society. As a healthcare expert, I understand the importance of access to quality medical care in shaping the future of children.”
The SUNU Health MD highlighted the significance of health insurance in providing families with financial protection against unforeseen medical expenses. With active health insurance coverage, parents can rest assured that their children will receive the medical attention they need without breaking the bank. This is particularly crucial for children who are more vulnerable to illnesses and require prompt medical attention.
Dr. Korie’s call to action is timely, given the current healthcare landscape in Nigeria. As the country continues to grapple with high-cost healthcare services due to inflation, individuals and families must take proactive steps to protect their health and wellbeing.
As part of SUNU Health’s commitment to promoting healthcare awareness, the company is dedicated to providing innovative health insurance solutions that cater to the unique needs of families. Dr. Korie’s advocacy for children’s health is a testament to the company’s mission of making quality healthcare accessible to all Nigerians at a cost effective rate.
In celebration of Children’s Day, SUNU Health Nigeria Limited has partnered with Cute Kids Haven Foundation for at least three years, giving children a colourful celebration. To maintain this momentum, Dr. Patrick Korie called on well-meaning Nigerians to contribute to the welfare of vulnerable children by supporting foundations that cater for children’s welfare.
SUNU Health Nigeria Limited remains committed to providing health insurance solutions that support families in achieving their healthcare goals. As a member of the SUNU Group, which has a presence in 17 African countries, the company has been providing qualitative healthcare for Nigerians since 1998. SUNU Health is known for putting enrollees at the forefront of its operations, living up to its corporate tagline “Humanity is the center of our initiatives.”
Dr. Korie’s advocacy serves as a timely reminder of the importance of prioritizing children’s health as the world celebrates Children’s Day in 2025. Working together, we can create a healthier future for our children and contribute to the overall well-being of our society.
