Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has said that without a compulsory health insurance scheme, the Buhari regime will not be able to pool the resources required to provide decent healthcare for 200 million Nigerians, growing by five million every year.
Senior Special Assistant to the Vice President on Media and Publicity, Laolu Akande, disclosed this on Wednesday in a statement titled ‘Optimistic about country’s future, Osinbajo says young Nigerians will unleash their resourcefulness on the world’. “Without compulsory health insurance, we simply cannot bring together the resources that are required to provide decent healthcare for 200 million people, growing by five million every year. I think the game-changer is health insurance.”
“So, there are huge revolutionary changes that need to be made and I believe that they are entirely possible. And we are at a point where these things are accessible to us, with time, we can do these things. I am certainly looking forward to some of the reforms that is possible.”
