More than 190 million Nigerians are still paying out-of-pocket to access medical services, forcing individuals, businesses and households to incur enormous health expenditures.
This was disclosed by the Chief Executive Officer of Leadway Health Limited, Dr Alli Tokunbo, who lamented that it is an unnecessary, unsustainable and costly means to accessing quality healthcare services.
He promised that Leadway Health Limited would introduce disruptive innovation to change the narratives of health maintenance in Nigeria.
“According to the National Health Insurance Scheme, NHIS, more than 190 million Nigerians are still paying out-of-pocket to access medical services, forcing individuals, businesses and households to incur enormous and usually unplanned health expenditures. With the introduction of Leadway Health Limited, our range of solutions would help bridge the gap in providing quality, accessible and affordable health services to Nigerians,” he said.
