The National
Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS), in line with its vision of bringing good &
affordable health care services to Nigerians, has gone into a strategic
partnership with Salt and Einstein MTS, the mobile insurance services
aggregator and African leading telecommunications and ICT Company MTN, to
launch first-of-its-kind mobile health insurance scheme tagged: MTN Y’ello
Health.
This new scheme was unveiled on Monday 21th of July at
Civic Centre, Victoria Island, Lagos.
Speaking at the
event, the Chief Executive Officer, MTN Nigeria, Michael Ikpoki, said “At MTN,
we believe that health insurance contributes to removing the financial barriers
to healthcare, giving people unrestricted access to good health care without
having to pay out-of-pocket. More than bringing flexibility and ease to paying
for health care service, health insurance is also a means of providing greater
access to healthcare for larger segments of a population. Indeed we believe
health insurance is imperative for closing the gap between the availability of
health care service and the ability of the citizenry to access it”.
