A national demographic survey conducted by the Federal Government has revealed that only three per cent of Nigerians between ages 15 and 49 are covered by health insurance.
The 2018 Nigeria Demographic and Health Survey was implemented by the National Population Commission in collaboration with the National Malaria Elimination Programme of the Federal Ministry of Health.
The survey was conducted to provide estimates on fertility levels, marriage, sexual activity, family planning, breastfeeding practices, nutrition, childhood and maternal mortality, maternal and child health, malaria, domestic violence, disability, and female genital mutilation.
The survey also revealed that between 1990 and 2018, neonatal mortality rate had only slightly reduced in the country from 42 per cent to 39 per cent.
