Mandatory Health Insurance and Its Impact on Access to Healthcare in Nigeria: A Review of the National Health Insurance Act (NHIA) Charles University in Prague Faculty of Law Research Paper No. 2024/II/4
Popis výsledku v původním jazyce
This article evaluates health insurance in Nigeria and examines the laws regulating the sector. The article examines the role of health insurance in Nigeria as a panacea for achieving the right to healthcare access for Nigerian citizens and highlights the Nigerian government's attempts at securing access to healthcare for its citizens by enacting laws and healthcare policies, which culminated in the enactment of the National Health Insurance Act (NHIA) 2022, a law that repealed the National Health Insurance Act 2004 as the governing law on health insurance in Nigeria.Unlike its predecessor, the new law makes health insurance coverage mandatory for all Nigerians to promote healthcare access, and this article evaluates the Act in line with its predecessor to understand how it seeks to achieve this goal, examine any shortcomings that the previous Act failed to cover, and highlight issues that may affect the implementation of the new Act.
