Nigeria aims to achieve 20% health insurance coverage by 2027, according to the Minister of Health. This target is part of the government’s broader efforts to strengthen the healthcare system, improve access to quality medical services, and ensure financial protection for citizens against high medical costs.

The Minister emphasized that expanding health insurance coverage will significantly reduce out-of-pocket expenditures and promote universal health coverage across the country.

This initiative reflects the commitment of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration to improve the health and wellbeing of Nigerians, ensuring that more citizens benefit from accessible and affordable healthcare services.
