Insurance Shows Promise
Quote from Ndubuisi Ekekwe on May 7, 2019, 2:02 PMInsurance can work in Nigeria if tech makes it easier and simpler. Lagos state recorded 120,00 persons for its health insurance scheme which is not really promising for a state with population of about 24 million people. Yet, it is a step to begin. Technology will transfer insurance if government opens it up.
NO less than 120,000 persons have enrolled for the Lagos State Health Insurance Scheme since it was launched in December 2018. The State Commissioner for Health, Dr Jide Idris who disclosed this said the State government is not relenting in ensuring that all residents in the State have access to quality and affordable healthcare without necessarily paying out of pocket.
