How to improve health care

Ogun State has asked that the revolutionised efforts to enhance provision of qualitative health care in the state be sustained.

Its Commissioner for Health, Dr Olaokun Soyinka, said one major way of doing this was through a Community- Based Health Insurance Scheme.

Soyinka spoke in Abeokuta, the state capital, at a stakeholders’ meeting with health maintenance organitions (HMOs) in community Health Insurance Scheme.

Soyinka said it was in realisation of this that the government formulated an all-encompassing health policy which had the insurance scheme as one of its cornerstones to make its health care delivery system more efficient, equitable, accessible, affordable and sustainable for residents.

“There is need to revolutionise the health system through health insurance that will be owned and controlled by the community,” Soyinka remarked.
