To what extent are households provided with financial protection in your country?
Exists only amongst the private organization employee insurance schemes though limited
to the very rich ones like oil companies
3 out of 36 states and FCT (Abuja) of the country offer free emergency care for
accident victims for the 1st 24hrs, but only in the tertiary hospital in the states
EVERYONE IS ON HIS OWN
![Page 20: NIGERIA Country presentation: State of Health Care Financing by Chima A. Onoka and Chijioke I. Okoli Health Policy Research Group University of Nigeria,](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649dc75503460f94abc781/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Way forward
• incentives ( rural allowance) for medical personnel (doctors, nurses etc) working in rural areas
• basic infrastructure like power supply, paved road network and water supply
• transparency and accountability in the management of CBHI funds
• expansion of national health insurance (NHI) to state and local government employees
• Beneficiaries of NHI: who really are employees’ dependents?
![Page 21: NIGERIA Country presentation: State of Health Care Financing by Chima A. Onoka and Chijioke I. Okoli Health Policy Research Group University of Nigeria,](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649dc75503460f94abc781/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Way forward (contd)• In PHC centres YOUTH Corps doctors (post-
interns) are often used, it relegates usage to low income category and trivializes the set up
• ensuring that PHCs are consistently manned by qualified medical personnel (in order to increase utilization)
• commitment on the part of government (policy consistency)
• consistency in drug supplies• De-emphasize political appointments in health
ministry (how?)
