The Federal Government has warned healthcare providers accredited under the National Health Insurance Scheme, NHIS, against substandard services to enrollees of the scheme.
Minister of Health, Dr. Osagie Ehanire, said that government would not condone any move to draw back its chances of success in the programme.
Speaking at the strategic stakeholders’ forum for healthcare providers organised by NHIS on Thursday in Abuja, Ehanire noted that the ongoing reform of the scheme would not achieve much, if enrollees continued to report dissatisfactory services and discourteous handling by hospital staff.
He observed that the provision of qualitative and affordable healthcare to all Nigerians through the NHIS was one of the priority areas of the President Muhammadu Buhari administration, which aligns with the global agenda for achieving Universal Health Coverage.
