SUNU Health MD, Dr. Patrick Korie, Advocates Prioritization of Children's Health on Children's Day 2025
As the world marks Children's Day 2025, the Managing Director of SUNU Health Nigeria Limited, Dr. Patrick Korie, has made a compelling call for increased attention to children's health and well-being. He urged Nigerian parents and guardians to take proactive steps in safeguarding the future of their children by ensuring they have access to quality healthcare through active health insurance coverage.
In a passionate statement commemorating the day, Dr. Korie emphasized that children's health is the foundation for a prosperous society. "Children deserve a healthy start in life, and this can only be achieved by investing in their health. We are not only securing their future but also strengthening the overall well-being of our nation," he said.
Dr. Korie highlighted the critical role of health insurance in protecting families from the financial burden of medical emergencies, especially given the country's challenging economic environment. He noted that children, being more susceptible to illnesses, require prompt and consistent medical attention that should not be hindered by financial constraints.
“In the current healthcare climate marked by rising costs, it is essential for families to take proactive steps. Active health insurance coverage offers peace of mind and ensures that children receive timely and adequate care,” Dr. Korie added.
As part of its ongoing commitment to promoting accessible healthcare, SUNU Health Nigeria has continued to provide innovative insurance solutions tailored to the needs of Nigerian families. Dr. Korie reaffirmed the company’s mission to make healthcare affordable and accessible, in line with its core belief that “Humanity is the center of our initiatives.”
In celebration of Children's Day, SUNU Health Nigeria partnered with the Cute Kids Haven Foundation to host a vibrant celebration for children—an initiative that has now run for at least three consecutive years. Dr. Korie urged well-meaning Nigerians and organizations to support the welfare of vulnerable children by partnering with foundations dedicated to child welfare.
Established in 1998 and operating under the umbrella of the SUNU Group, which has a presence in 17 African countries, SUNU Health Nigeria remains a trusted provider of quality healthcare services. The company is known for prioritizing its enrollees and delivering services that support families in achieving their healthcare goals.
Dr. Korie’s message serves as a timely reminder of the collective responsibility to nurture and protect the health of the nation’s future leaders. “Together, we can build a healthier future for our children and, by extension, a stronger and more resilient society,” he concluded.
