The GIFSHIP will provide an opportunity for affordable individual enrolment, enrolment of a family unit or a group of people. Any of the enrolments can also be sponsored by well-meaning individuals, Trusts, or organizations.

The Federal Government Thursday formally launched the Group, Individual and Family Social Health Insurance Programme , which offers citizens an opportunity to participate and benefit from health insurance, especially for those not currently captured under any form of health insurance by an employer.

“Worthy of note is the recent approval by the Federal Executive Council, of the e-NHIS Project, a robust ICT infrastructure to be developed and deployed to facilitate enrollee verification, access to care, data collection and management. It will include analytics, which will feed into a disease map that will be of great benefit in the management of public health across the nation.

“I, therefore, invite members of the polity, philanthropists, Nigerians in the diaspora, among others, to take advantage of this fantastic option to provide healthcare coverage for their families, communities, clans and enrol members of the constituencies, loved ones and relations, thereby giving them financial access to comprehensive quality healthcare at the point of need. The larger the pool of enrollees, the stronger the insurance base will be.
