Over 1.3 million residents have been enrolled in the Lagos State Health Insurance Scheme, Ilera-Eko, Permanent Secretary of the Lagos State Health Management Agency (LASHMA), Emmanuella Zamba, has said.
Speaking at a media parley as part of activities marking the 2024 Universal Health Coverage (UHC), Ms Zamba noted that since the enactment of the Lagos State Health Scheme Law in 2015, the state has significantly advanced toward its UHC goals.
According to Ms Zamba, the scheme offers comprehensive healthcare coverage for residents, underscoring the government’s dedication to making healthcare a fundamental right rather than a privilege.
