NHIS Proposes Establishment of National Health Insurance Commission
The management of the National Health Insurance Scheme has said that it is working to effect an amendment to the Act setting up the fund to transform it to a health insurance commission.
The move by the NHIS came just as one of the key stakeholders, the Nigeria Labour Congress said that there are indications that the operations of the health insurance scheme is becoming more transparent and accountable. Sambo who gave number of workers presently covered by the health insurance scheme as 3.5 million said the situation has not only tied the hands of the NHIS to a few segment of the Nigerian populace but has limited its impact as well.
Sambo also said that with the expansion of the scheme, it would attract a large pool of fund, which will in turn lead to cross-subsidization. He said that the workshop tried to bring on board all the stakeholders, “the national and state health insurance scheme under the platform that we have created, and will be called ‘health insurance under one roof’.
