Ahhh, my people! Make we go gree for this health insurance matter wey don dey hot like pepper soup. If you sabi wetin dey happen for obodo Naija, you go know say health insurance fit change our healthcare waka for better!
According to Lekan Ewenla, wey be the Managing Director for Ultimate Health, health insurance dey make sense like Akara and pap. Everywhere for the world, dem don dey use am well well to manage health matter, but for Naija, e be like say we dey lag behind small.
Imagine say as you enroll for health insurance, you fit waka enter any hospital come chop the treatment wey dem gree you. Na so e suppose be o! Dem say 80 percent of healthcare services na for primary level. So, if you fit get access, you go dey enjoy am like say na your birthday!
But wait! Wetin dey hold us back? E no easy to convince people say make dem enroll. Ewenla don yarn say dem talk am for the program wey dem hold for Abuja say awareness dey very low. Dem need run serious media campaign make everybody know wetin dem dey miss!
Plus, na di recent goment directive wey dem drop, we fit see some hope. If na you dey work for any organization, dem fit tell you say you gatz enroll your staff for health insurance. Dis one no be suggestion oh; na law!
As we dey yarn dis matter, e go make sense if all employers of labor sabi their responsibility. Dem no dey do any worker favor by enroll dem oh! Na wetin dem suppose do by law. So, if you dey work for place wey get five staff and above, make sure say dem gree you enroll for health insurance! Na your right!
But you go ask, wetin I go gain from all dis? Naija pipo, the answer dey for ground! Health insurance fit change our health infrastructure as cash go dey flow for the industry. All these na millions wey go translate to better health services.
The wahala wey we dey face no be small. Our doctors and nurses dey waka go abroad, because dem see how healthcare dey work for those places wey don sabi this health insurance matter for long. Even for Naija, if we fit collect our act together, we fit create good environment for dem to stay!
As Ewenla don highlight, Nigerians need turn up for the enrollment process, and make dem stop dey depend on private health insurance wey no dey affordable for many. Basic health plan wey goment don set up dey affordable and rich in content. No be only rich people go fit enjoy health care!
And for the goment side, dem no fit leave everything to private sector to run am. Na everybody suppose join hand for this health insurance waka. Every state governor need check how dem fit implement the basic plan to benefit their people.
And you go ask say wetin wey dem dey talk for “One Nation, One Health”? Na the blueprint wey go cover all Nigerians, make e no matter where you dey live! E go just dey work! If we fit follow am we go see better health care for everywhere!
As we continue to dey see how health insurance dey shape the future, no forget say everybody need to collect their National Identity Number for registration. Na so goment fit get proper data of who dey where!
In summary, no be small things dey happen for health insurance matter. The future dey shine! If we fit follow the plan and enroll ourselves, Basia go throway Oyinbo for our healthcare gisto! Make we dey watch as this journey unfold, my Naija pipo!
