AN APPRECIATION MESSAGE FROM FHIS ENROLLEE TO OUR HEAD OF MARKETING

Good morning Dr Shola
I just want to say thank you so much for making me register with FHIS

I took my kids to the hospital yesterday, and I must confess every stress was worth it. Stress for queuing up for approval from my HMO, one good thing about the HMO, they would always pick up and attend to any issue presented to them

Now for my kids, we first met with some pediatricians and we were referred to the ophthalmologists and Neurologists…

Doctor Shola you won’t believe I didn’t pay a dime to see these doctors 💃🏼 I was well attended to, I wasn’t treated less bcoz I was not paying for their services, we were asked to go for a lab test and EEG tests, not even 500 naira was paid. I was only asked for pay for eyedrops because that wasn’t covered for.

I was super grateful and thankful to the eye drops. Common!
Only God knows how much I would have paid if not for FHIS.

Thank you so much ma for introducing me to FHIS .

God bless and keep you, I am super grateful and happy Doc❤️❤️😍

*FORUM OF CEO’S OF SSHIA’S AGREE TO WORK TOGETHER TO ATTAIN UNIVERSAL HEALTH COVERAGE*
*David Barau*

Health Insurance Agencies in the country have been charged to work together as a unit because that is the only way Nigeria can achieve the Universal Health Coverage target (UHC).

The Immediate past Chairman of the forum of Chief Executive officers (CEO’s) of States Social Health Insurance Agencies (SSHIA’s) Dr. Simeon Onyemechi gave the charge while welcoming the members of the forum to the 2026 First Quarter Meeting of the forum in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.

Dr. Onyeamechi said all States Health insurance Agencies must ensure they collaborate and pull everyone together at the same time in other to avoid what he describes as the “polio effect”

“Lets no allow anything to break our ranks, and work shoulder to shoulder, because if one state does not do the needful with regards the UHC, then ultimately, Nigeria will not be said to have attained the UHC.” “The polio case is still fresh in our minds when we were running on the elimination, and then eradication phases for the country, the fact that one state still had was a challenge and Nigeria could not be certified polio free, the same way if any state is left behind in this race, Nigeria will not be said to have attained the universal health coverage”. He said.

Dr. Onyeamechi who used the medium to inform the members that he was stepping down as the forum’s chair following the expiration of his two-term tenure as the Chief Executive Officer of the Anambra State Health Insurance Agency (ASHIA) thanked the members for their support.

“If for any reason, we overstepped, I know you have already found a way to forgive us for any misstep, but if we didn’t , then we thank you for the support you’ve given us, there is an exco that is still there which I will charge you all to continue to support for the good of this UHC agenda that we are all trying to achieve” He Concluded.

The Forum Secretary General and CEO of Rivers State SHIA, Dr Vetty Agala shared the objectives of the Q1 review meeting noting that it was to review progress,
