The National Health Insurance Scheme ( NHIS), has warned service providers against embarking on sharp practices in order to improve on the health status of Nigerians.
Nasarawa State Coordinator of NHIS Mrs Mary Aliu gave the advice in her opening remark at a NHIS Stakeholders’ Forum in Keffi on Thursday.
She noted that the scheme was established to ensure that every Nigerian has access to good health care service.
According to her, “the purpose of NHIS is to address the issue of out of pocket payment for healthcare services, improve Nigerians health status and strengthen national health care delivery system.
“We are committed to improving the health status of Nigerians through our various policies and programmes.“
