Nigeria's NHIA Makes Strides Towards Universal Health Coverage
The National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA) in Nigeria has reported a substantial increase in health insurance coverage to 21.1 million enrollees by August 2025. The NHIA is working towards achieving universal health coverage through initiatives like the Obstetric Fistula Care Program and Emergency Care Initiative.
The NHIA's efforts are supported by the government's mandate to make health insurance mandatory in Nigeria, breaking a two-decade stagnation in coverage. The NHIA is committed to protecting Nigerians from catastrophic health expenditures and ensuring sustainable gains in healthcare access and quality.
