pharmacists in Lagos have rejected the newly launched Lagos State Health Insurance Scheme, saying “the Scheme is shrouded in secrecy and not encompassing”.
“What they have done is not in the best interest of the public by lumping everything about drugs, and in terms of remuneration to the doctors. That only makes them to pay if they need that service. “But if it is done normally, when a patient sees a doctor, after diagnosis, the doctor will write the first choice drug for the patient,” he explained.
“We have told our members that none of them should subscribe as a provider under the Lagos State health insurance until such a time our concerns will be addressed. “It is unfortunate we don’t learn from experience. This is what they did at the national level and it failed. Everything has been shrouded in secrecy.
