The Society for Family Health (SFH) nigeria has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA) to scale up Universal Health Coverage (UHC) and access to healthcare  services for Nigerians.

Universal Health Coverage means ensuring that everyone – no matter where they live or who they are – can access essential quality health services without facing financial hardship. It is estimated that over 70% of Nigerians pay for healthcare services out of pockets. 

 The MoU covers provision of technical support and capacity building in areas of innovative financing, benefit packages, strategic plan implementation, social marketing to improve access to and quality of medicines, capacity building, among other mutual interests.

Speaking during the signing ceremony at the NHIA headquarters in Abuja, the Managing Director of SFH, Dr Omokhudu Idogho, said achieving health for all will require multi-sectoral collaborations from government, private and non-profit organisations. 

He said signing the document by both parties was a critical step that would lead to the continuation of a robust partnership in the provision of technical support and capacity building to the NHIA , which will in turn strengthen its mandate for achieving financial access to quality healthcare for all Nigerians.

He said, “We will prioritise universal health coverage with a focus on primary healthcare and strategic purchasing in alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs 3) action plan”.

Why I Withdrew From Ondo Guber Race — Eyitayo Jegede

Latest Politics updatein nigeria

Lifestyle Nigeria gathered that the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ondo state in 2020, Chief Eyitayo Jegede, on Thursday, said he withdrew from the 2024 governorship race to give room for unity and ensure victory for the party in the forthcoming governorship election.

Jegede who noted that disunity has not allowed any candidate from that party to win the governorship race in the state, said he chose to sacrifice his ambition for the development of the party.

This is just as a group within the party, PDP Crusader, hailed the decision of Jegede to step aside in the forthcoming governorship election in the state in order to build a strong and united party that can send the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) packing in the state.

The Coordinator of the PDP Crusader, Hon Mayokun Akinmoladun, said the group was ready to follow and support Jegede in any decision he took on the party’s primary and the November 16 governorship election.

Akinmoladun said the most important thing to the party is to come together and rescue the state, noting that the party was not being run the way it was supposed to be.

He said the party may go into extinction if care is not taken, and commended Jegede for financing the party since it lost the governorship seat some eight years ago.
