NHIS repositions in Lagos, tasks service providers on Universal Health Coverage



  
 
   In its bid to reposition and fulfill its mandate of providing coverage for all Nigerians the National Health Insurance Scheme, NHIS, Lagos Zonal Office, recently embarked on a series of education workshops   towards improving quality care at the user-end by educating newly accredited healthcare service providers in the state.
   Towards this end Medical and Managing Directors as well as other high-level representatives of the newly accredited hospitals, pharmacies, medical laboratories, optometry, dental and physiotherapy clinics that were recently accredited under the        Scheme,  gathered, and were tutored  on  operational guidelines of the Scheme.
   They were brought together to be equipped with requisite know-how of the NHIS benefit package for enrolees upon demand.
   The Lagos Zonal Coordinator of the NHIS,  Awala Ebijuwa, said the purpose of the workshop is to enhance  working knowledge of the NHIS Operational Guidelines for effective provision of healthcare services to  enrolees.
   In view of the National President of the Health Care Providers Association of Nigeria, HCPAN, Dr Umar Sanda, all hands needed to be on deck to enable NHIS achieve its mandate of Universal Health Coverage, UHC, in Nigeria.
