For two years running, swipha's Fansidar has won the coveted National Institute of Marketing of Nigeria Award for marketing Excellence as the overall brand of the year in the Antimalarial category of the pharmaceutical sector.

Fansidar's nomination for the award, in the first place, was a product of the credible national consumer survey conducted for NIMN by three of the leading marketing research organizations in the country - Research International, MRS and MSS.

NIMN in their letter to swipha to communicate this result stated that "the consumers have spoken loudly through the survey results and as promoters of consumer sovereignty NIMN could only applaud their judgment and celebrate it with swipha.

Due to the objectivity, integrity and glamour accompanying the award, NIMN Marketing Excellence Award has become the benchmark of such events in the country attracting the cream of business community and government officials.

The first award (NAME 2005) was given on the 4th October 2005 which was also based on the result of a nation wide survey.

Fansidar has been marketed in Nigeria by swipha for thirty (30) years and is seen by many as the leading Sulphadoxine/Pyrimethamine brand in the Country.
