Ogun State government says it has paid the sum of N200 million grant to the Basic Health Care Provision Fund.
The state Governor, Dapo Abiodun disclosed this at the launch of the Basic Health Care Provision Fund and commencement of the Informal Sector Health Insurance Scheme, in Abeokuta, the state capital.
Abiodun described the formal take-off of the health insurance scheme as a step towards capturing the all-important sector in the social health safety.
The Governor, however, expressed hope that the scheme would serve as a cushion against any financial burden as occasioned by high out-of-pocket expenses on health care services.
