Top 15 HMOs in Nigeria for individuals based on affordability
Recent data from the International Trade Commission reveals that less than 5% of Nigerians currently have health insurance coverage, emphasizing the critical need for increased adoption of health insurance in the country.
Achieving universal health coverage is a key goal for Nigeria, and health insurance plays a pivotal role in ensuring access to quality healthcare services.
