Health is wealth o eyin ara mi.

Just like Auto insurance or any other insurance for that matter, you pay but you don't use it .
There comes a day sha that you will appreciate having it.

Our mentality for this side of the world that if I'm not sick, then no need to go to the Dr is wrong.

At least quarterly visits to the doctor's office is okay.
That is how you manage your health.

A word is enough for the wise.

cool

Baba tell them oo..Most of our people believe you have to have millions or a big Man or Woman before you register under an health insurance scheme which is not the case.. However the government too should try and expand the NHIS to make it much more efficient and make the populace know much more about it.I tried to sign up under the NHIS around 2018 and the stupid Man that spoke to me told me they are not accepting new applicants now and that their website is down and does not know when it will come back..I was like is something wrong with you sir?That was what I told him as I was livid. He only said there is nothing he or me can do if I like I should shout from now till tommorow.. grin grin Imagine a Federal goverment scheme ooo..That is the area the government has done wrong.

However in Oyo state,Health Insurance is a big deal..The Ajimobi administration started a health insurance scheme for only people in the formal sector alone and I think Oyo state civil servants alone. The Seyi Makinde administration did an expansion that brought in artisans and people in the informal sector on board.It is a nice program as it is always advertised on radio and has a segment for it on Isaac Brown's Saturday morning programme on Fresh FM.

With about 8000 yearly you can sign up..They have plans for 8000,13,000 108,000 etc..I would have signed up but I havent had the chance to visit my hospital.I need to be sure my hospital accepts OYSHIA before I sign up with them.. I will prefer to sign up with either the state health insurance or the Federal than a private health insurance scheme..I saw some private ones too but I needed to be sure my hospital accepts them

You can check OYSHIA out on their website. oyshia.oy.gov.ng

Good afternoon nairalanders.

Quite some time since I last posted. We are now well away into the new year (February 24) and also the new decade.

We have looked at objections people give against buying Health Insurance. We will now look at reasons adduced by those who buy.

We will see that common threads run through their reasons.

Please talk to me if you want a reliable Health partner.
