My presentation at the @LagHealthScheme UHC Day Celebration.

Over the last 2 decades @followlasg had experimented with many policy initiatives such as: The Free Health Scheme; the community based health insurance scheme (CBHIS) aimed at attaining #UHC #ForAGreaterLagos

The journey towards #UHC has not been without hitches. This necessitated the establishment of an all inclusive mandatory health scheme to bridge the gap

The objective of the scheme is to reduce out of pocket spend, thereby protecting the population against the financial risks

Challenge - fragmentation and low coverage;

•2% of the population of Lagos has health insurance, including fragmented NHIS programs and private health insurance.

The Lagos State Health Scheme (LSHS) provides an opportunity to increase coverage and pool all available resources together to provide healthcare to a larger population

The Overview of LSHS Registration
•Men - 204,875
•Women - 232,144
•Children - 40,721

LSHS Health Plans:

Basic defined minimum benefit package for healthcare services for primary care

Contributory plan for all public and private sector employees with employers contribution as may be determined

Ilera Eko Project conceived to improve demand generation activities and enrollment especially informal sector:

📌Collaboration- Public Private Partnership
📍Accelerate improved access to qualitative healthcare
📌Total healthcare value chain solution
