The Ogun State Government, under its Public/
Private Partnership, PPP, initiative has secured
support of the African Health Market for Equity,
AHME, partners comprising the World Bank and
allies on the roll-out of the Community Based
Health Insurance Scheme, CBHIS, in the state.
Commissioner for Health, Dr. Olaokun Soyinka,
who made this known in Abeokuta after a
presentation to the group on the process and
modalities for the operation of the scheme,
pointed out that the development would help in
achieving the re-defined health strategy of
government towards providing efficient health-
care system.
Responding, Director, Health Market of AHME,
Mr. Matt Boxshall assured of the readiness of his
team to collaborate with the state government to
provide high quality service delivery, describing
the CBHIS scheme as a genuine intervention
capable of addressing health‑related challenges.
He counselled that it should be replicated in
other states and African countries to cater for
the health needs of the people, especially the
poor.
