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.
