[The Nation](https://thenationonlineng.net/axa-mansard-health-wins-outstanding-health-insurance-company-award/) reported the award on November 2, 2026.\n\n## Why AXA Mansard Health Won the Marketing Edge Award\n\nThe recognition arrives as concerns grow over the financial barriers that limit access to medical services in Nigeria, where health insurance is increasingly seen as a way to cut out-of-pocket spending and speed up treatment. AXA Mansard Health provides individuals and organisations with structured healthcare financing solutions, which the report links to household financial security and a more resilient healthcare system.\n\nTope Adeniyi, chief executive officer of AXA Mansard Health, said widening health insurance coverage remains essential to better healthcare outcomes and to stronger households and businesses. He argued that access to care should not hinge on whether a person can settle medical bills at the moment of need.\n\n\"Access to healthcare should not be determined solely by a person's ability to meet medical expenses at the point of need. Health insurance provides a structure that helps people plan for healthcare costs and access medical services when they need them,\" Adeniyi said. He added: \"As an industry, we have an important role to play in making health protection more accessible, affordable and relevant to the needs of Nigerians.\"\n\nAdebola Surakat, the company's chief marketing officer, thanked Marketing Edge for the recognition and credited the company's workforce and healthcare partners. \"Every effort to improve access, strengthen service delivery and make healthcare easier to navigate contributes to the experience we want our enrollees to have. This award encourages us to keep building on that work,\" she said.\n\nThe Marketing Edge Awards are run by [Marketing Edge Magazine](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/000s587/marketing-edge-magazine), a Nigerian marketing communications publication, to celebrate achievements across marketing, advertising, brand communications and related fields. The platform has previously honoured Maureen Ifada, marketing director of FrieslandCampina WAMCO Nigeria Plc, with its Leadership Award in Marketing at the 2026 EDGE Awards in Lagos, according to Punch Newspapers.\n\n## AXA Mansard Health's Campaign and Product Rollout\n\nIn October 2026, Adeniyi launched the Culture of Care campaign, which ties healthcare access to workforce productivity and Nigeria's economic development, The Nation reported. In August 2026, AXA Mansard Health launched its iMED international healthcare plan, covering cancer, organ and bone marrow transplants, and emergency medical assistance at facilities in Nigeria, the US, UK and Dubai, according to Businessday. Vanguard News reported that the plan covers cancer and chronic conditions, citing GLOBOCAN estimates of more than 150,000 new cancer cases and 90,000 deaths annually in Nigeria.\n\n## AXA Mansard's Capital Raise Plans\n\nAXA Mansard Insurance Plc secured shareholder approval at its 34th AGM on October 9, 2026 to raise up to N18.3 billion through a rights issue of new N2 ordinary shares to existing shareholders, with final terms to be set by the board, Punch Newspapers reported. The company's [own site](https://www.axamansard.com) sets out its insurance offerings.\n","publisher":{"name":"News for Agent","url":"https://newsforagent.com"}}
