The coordinating minister for Health and Social Welfare, Professor Muhammad Ali Pate had announced that 750,000 more Nigerians have been registered since the advent of the Tinubu administration.

However,  the target of the Tinubu administration is to have 50 million Nigerians enrol by 2027

The aim of the retreat which was characterised by enthusiastic participation of attendees was to set the tone for NHIA’s future direction, focusing on key priorities to achieve President Tinubu’s mandate for the organisation.

The event, the first under current director general Kelechi Ohiri, also focused on developing strategies to drive enrollment across all schemes and ensure a standardised and consistent minimum benefit package. Participants also examined challenges related to the portability (flexibility of health insurance and discussed the role of stakeholders in resolving these challenges. The retreat commenced with a warm welcome and introduction, followed by an overview of the objectives and agenda by the Public Relations and Strategy Development (PRSD) team.

Additionally, sessions delved into other critical themes such as equity in healthcare delivery, quality of care, market efficiency, citizen engagement, data transparency, and organisational health and structure. Each session fostered in-depth discussions and brainstorming on actionable solutions to address existing challenges and capitalise on opportunities for improvement. The retreat concluded with a commitment from NHIA’s leadership to sustain the drive to increase enrolment and focus on delivering impactful outcomes for Nigerians, in line with the mandate of the Minister of Health and Social Welfare.

In his closing remarks, Dr. Ohiri highlighted the importance of teamwork and collaboration in achieving organisational goals, emphasising the need to recognize and appreciate support from various departments and individuals. He also underscored the commitment to quarterly strategic meetings to reflect on progress and adapt strategies as needed.
