FHIS lauds Tinubu for prioritising Health Insurance

The FCT Health Insurance Scheme (FHIS) on Thursday commended the administration of President Bola Tinubu for its plan to prioritise health insurance scheme for the benefits of Nigerians.

The director of the agency, Dr Ahmed Danfulani, gave the commendation at an engagement with the media in Abuja to further create more awareness about the activities of the scheme.

He said the new administration had shown the desire to promote health insurance, saying this had featured prominently in most of the president’s public speeches.

Danfulani also said the President had made health insurance a key objective of the renewed hope agenda.

He however called on the president to sign the FCT Health Insurance Bill and create other documents to support the bill towards meeting up with the country’s target of Universal Health Coverage by 2030.

The Director, who appreciated the media for standing by FHIS in terms of creating awareness for FCT residents on the benefits of health insurance, called on journalists to do more.

He said that the enrollees of health insurance in the FCT had increased largely due to the acceptability of the scheme.

“But I must tell you, we are not yet where we want to be. We expect more regular and consistence information from the media to help us achieve our aim.
