Medical Practitioners Demand Nationwide Compulsory Health Insurance
The Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) led by Prof. Mike Ogrima, President, has beckoned on the Federal Government on the need for a compulsory health insurance for all Nigerians as that is a vital element that will ensure universal health coverage in Nigeria.
According to Prof. Ogrima health should occupy top place in government's priority list without which the country's health index may remain stagnant or even deteriorate.
He added that all Nigerians deserve access to quality healthcare irrespective of where they live. He urged the government to give its attention to actualizing that dream.
