NHIA Voluntary Healthcare Framework

Establishing structured health insurance structures under the National Health Insurance Authority guidelines.

GIFSHIP Scheme

Under the NHIA Act, the GIFSHIP program serves individuals and families. At a standard contribution rate of ₦15,000 per person annually, it covers major primary healthcare services.

Out-of-Pocket Cap

Private medical treatment is a major source of unexpected household debt. Building dedicated medical reserves limits out-of-pocket financial distress.

10% Co-Pay Rule

The statutory NHIA program enforces a 10% co-payment on generic medications prescribed in accredited hospitals, significantly reducing family spending.
