THE ROLE OF THE NATIONAL HEALTH INSURANCE SCHEME ON THE EFFECTIVENESS OF HEALTH SERVICES IN NIGERIA
It is one of the primary purposes of any reasonable government to provide suitable and adequate medical and health facilities to all its citizens. A healthy nation is a wealthy nation because of the absence of debilitating diseases and epidemics in such a country, which, along with hunger and squalor impoverishes the citizenry Nwatu, 2000 cited in Ohalete, 2008 .The poor state of the Nation s health care delivery system, the rising cost of health care services as well as the inability of the government health facilities to cope with the people s demands necessitated the establishment of the National Health Insurance Scheme NHIS Tanimola, Adekunle, Oluwole, 2011 .The aim of this study is to determine the extent at which the National Health Insurance Scheme is able to provide a positive influence on the health services available in the country. This was determined by considering whether there is adequate awareness of the existence and role of the scheme; as well as whether the cost of health care service provided by the scheme is good enough to protect families from the financial hardship of huge medical bills. Data were collected from primary sources with the use of a questionnaire.The data collected were then presented in tables as frequency distribution and analysis was carried out with the use of regression using the statistical package for social sciences SPSS . The major findings of the study include; there is no adequate awareness of the role of the National Health Insurance Scheme among students of tertiary institutions; the quality of service provided by the scheme is highly unsatisfactory to enrollees students and; the protection provided by the scheme against financial hardship of enrollees on the huge medical bill is very low.
