The Nation Newspaper Health insurance now compulsory, NHIA DG tells states
, Prof. Mohammed Sambo, has urged the agency’s state offices to ensure that no life in their domains is left uncovered under health insurance.
The NHIA boss, who was represented by the agency’s acting Director of Special Duties, Sulaiman Ibrahim, said the authority had been well repositioned to achieve its statutory mandate of attaining the Universal Health Coverage, especially with the birth of the new NHIA Act 2022. “Accordingly, NHIA is to regulate, integrate, and promote health insurance in Nigeria. The Act has made health insurance mandatory for all Nigerians and legal residents, the establishment of the Vulnerable Group Fund to subsidise the cost of provision of health care services to the vulnerable persons in Nigeria, amongst other innovations that have changed the health insurance ecosystem.
The Kaduna State Coordinator of the authority, Aminu Tanimu, announced that the award was organised to celebrate excellence, honour outstanding achievements and recognise individuals and organisations that have made exceptional contributions to the NHIA ecosystem.
