What happened

Some supportReported by 2 outlets

Babajide Sanwo-Olu unveiled a new private health insurance partnership in Lagos State. However, the Health and Managed Care Association of Nigeria and the Association of Health Insurance Practitioners of Nigeria disputed the government’s claim that 21 HMOs endorsed the plan. The associations also insisted the scheme requires approval from the National Health Insurance Authority before implementation.
