Nigerian The National Academy of Medicine (NAMed) has linked Nigeria’s poor health care services to poor health insurance services that force millions of citizens to pay for their health care out-of-pocket.
The group believes there is a need for efficient compulsory medical insurance services for Nigerians, as the government alone cannot afford to adequately fund medical services, given the attitudes of political leaders in the country and the economic situation. Said there was.
Professor Sam Ohaegbulam said this in his remarks after being inaugurated as NAMed’s pioneering president in Abuja.
He gives examples of several countries, particularly in North Africa and Europe, that have developed and adopted efficient and effective compulsory health insurance systems, and their commitment to providing quality and affordable health care services to their citizens. I have listed the results I have obtained.
“Part of the challenge we have in providing quality healthcare services is lack of funding, and I believe health insurance is the only answer to that challenge.
“Health insurance is the main solution to Nigeria’s poor health services. Without compulsory and successful health insurance, Nigeria cannot generate enough income to address the health challenges of its people. If someone is unable to pay for health insurance, the government or family can enjoy the service at a low cost instead of donating and spending millions of naira for surgery instead of getting health insurance. I can do it.
He charged NAMed to defend a cause that heralded a turnaround Nigeria’s public healthcare system so that both elites and other Nigerians can patronize the system with confidence.
