Share on WhatsAppShare on FacebookShare on TwitterTelegram

Federal government has concluded plans to kick start the long-awaited Universal Health Coverage Programme in a bid to make quality healthcare service affordable and accessible to 83 million vulnerable Nigerians.

The secretary to the government of the federation (SGF), Boss Mustapha, made the disclosure when the delegation from World Health Organisation (WHO) led by its country representative, Dr Walter Mulombo Kazadi alongside the executive secretary, National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA), Prof Mohammed Nasir Sambo, paid him a courtesy visit in his office.

The SGF, in a statement by his media office said that the signing into law of the National Health Insurance Authority Bill by President Muhammadu Buhari signaled a new lease of life to the health sector, which would make universal health coverage accessible to the vulnerable in every nook and cranny of the country.

He said, “In May of this year, we had the President signed the bill, now made it to an act to create first, the agency that is going to administer the universal health insurance coverage to cater for the 83 million vulnerable you mentioned. And also, to superintend over the general administration of the insurance coverage across the length and breadth of this country.”

He thanked the World Health Organisation (WHO) for the technical and financial support it has received, which has assisted the country in its fight against Covid-19 in the country.

According to the SGF, one of the multiplier effects of treating sicknesses is the impoverishment of the families affected because of the out-of-pocket expenses being expended in the course of treatment.
