Health is ultimate to every being. As the popular saying goes, Health is Wealth!

Regardless of the amount of wealth, and accomplishment, all of them put together minus good health, amounts to nothing. This is why a rich man who is perceived to have everything will not hesitate to spend all his wealth to ensure he is healthy.

We all try our best to maintain an optimal level of health. From regular checkups, exercise, to eating right. However, nature happens and we fall sick when we least expect. This is why it is pertinent to have a standard health plan, if not for anything, for emergency cases.

Enter Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOs).

An HMO is a network or organization that provides health insurance coverage for a monthly or annual fee.

There are HMOs here in Nigeria with the mission to provide the best health care at lower premiums to their subscribers by entering into contracts with primary care physicians, health care facilities and specialists. Subscribers are able to access these services by paying a monthly or annual premium.

The subscriptions are available for both individuals and corporate organizations. If you are considering subscribing for a health plan, whether now and in the nearest future but you don’t know the HMO to subscribe at, here is a list of the top 10 HMOs in Nigeria.

This is why the partnership with private hospitals is on the increase. Hopefully, the government will do well enough to build more general hospitals.

Please can you mention one of the partnerships you are talking about? A govt that increases voting units and wouldn't do anything that would directly affect the growing population. Keep speaking grammar. If you are not ashamed of Nigeria, I am.
