I am confident in this team's capacity to deliver on the HFNs mandate for the next 2 years”.

Dr Pamela Ajayi is the Founder/Managing Director of Synlab Nigeria (Formerly PathCare), Creator/Anchor DoctorsOnAir, DoctorsOnAir Medical Mission. An experienced physician, multi-disciplinary Administrator, Technocrat, and award winning entrepreneur, Dr Ajayi has an impeccable record of excellence in Management and purpose-oriented leadership.

Mrs Njide Ndili, who is the newly elected Vice President, is the Country Director for PharmAccess Foundation, an international NGO dedicated to facilitating affordable access to quality health care in Africa by stimulating investments in the healthcare industry through partnerships with the private sector and government institutions.

This is borne out of the neglect the sector has suffered over the years as a result of many factors. To this effect, the organization advocates for changes in policy and reforms that will support the growth and development of the sector by harnessing the resources available in the private sector.
