Lagos State plans to roll out a state-run health insurance scheme next month. But doctors in the state are not convinced it will succeed under the planned arrangement.
He said the association had several engagements with the government where it registered its displeasure with the model of the scheme. “Despite not being carried along, NMA was present even at the launching of the health scheme. I believe we have registered our displeasure enough,” Mr Abdusallam said. The NMA official said one of the major drawbacks is that capitation that will be paid to service providers is very low.
The association observed that the manner some state governments are going about the establishment of SHIS lacks the necessary determinants for success. “The challenge now is that there is increased awareness and enrollees visit hospitals more frequently. At least two or three times in a month. That’s why providers are complaining because there is no way they can make profit and give quality service in this kind of arrangement.
