In an effort to reshape the healthcare landscape in Nigeria, the National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA) remains resolute in its commitment to providing quality healthcare for all citizens, regardless of their socioeconomic status.
At a one-day stakeholder's interactive session held in Gombe State, Dr. Ahmad Usman, the Gombe State Coordinator of NHIA, underscored the agency's commitment to surmounting the obstacles that impede the successful execution of the 2022 National Health Insurance Act, aimed at providing health insurance for all Nigerians.
He highlighted the vital role that Health Management Organizations (HMOs) play in granting financial access to healthcare services.
Dr. Ahmad Usman also noted the progress made in Gombe State, particularly in enrolling approximately 45 thousand individuals in the Formal Sector Health Insurance Program.
He urged individuals in the informal sector to come together in groups of ten or more, enabling them to access affordable and top-tier healthcare services.
In reaffirming their dedication to quality healthcare, Mohammed Goje, NHIA desk officer at the Federal Teaching Hospital Gombe, stressed the hospital's commitment to delivering exceptional medical services to enrollees at affordable rates.
He also disclosed the ongoing construction of the NHIA Complex, a state-of-the-art facility equipped with advanced communication tools to boost operational efficiency.
Additionally, Goje applauded NHIA for organizing quarterly stakeholder forums, which he believes will prove instrumental in addressing various healthcare issues and succeeding in universal health coverage not only in Gombe State but across the entire nation.
The NHIA's unwavering determination to ensure accessible healthcare for all remains at the forefront of its mission, promising a brighter and healthier future for all Nigerians.
