“I am delighted to be appointed to The Zenith Global Healthcare Awards. So many professionals in health care go through their professional lives without any recognition of the excellence they provide, over and above their contracted service. The Zenith Global Healthcare awards not only provides a platform to recognise those who are doing just that, it will also help encourage healthcare professionals in the future to strive that bit harder to provide excellence to their patients, support for their colleagues and to get involved with projects and research to improve healthcare for all.”
In a statement released by Mary Akangbe, President of Zenith Global said:
“We are truly honoured and excited to welcome Professor Whiteley on board. His passion and dedication to constantly seek the best possible care for patients as well bringing out the best in people are some of his many attributes that resonate with us at Zenith Global Health. He has been a source of inspiration and support for us and we continue to embrace his sound advice which is vital to growth and sustenance.”
