The HealthCare Providers Association of Nigeria urged the Federal and state governments to expand health insurance coverage and ensure prompt settlement of medical claims. The association noted that only 10 to 13 per cent of Nigerians are covered by health insurance, while out-of-pocket payments account for approximately 70 per cent of healthcare expenditure in Nigeria. The association also called for flexible premium arrangements to include informal-sector workers.
