Global Health & Pharma, a global information sharing platform focused on human, animal and environmental health, has awarded DRO Health the best telehealth platform in Nigeria during the 2020 Healthcare & Pharmaceutical Awards. 

This prestigious award was won alongside global health tech companies innovating in the healthcare sector. 

The award highlights the inevitable role of technology in disrupting the healthcare industry in Nigeria.
