The objective of this project is to increase access to quality basic healthcare by utilizing the structure established by the Health Insurance Fund (“HIF”) – a Dutch non-governmental organization – in poorer parts of Nigeria to expand the provision of pre-paid health services to additional groups of beneficiaries.

Grant Agreement Signed on October 23, 2008. So far 4,514 people have been verified to have benefited from the scheme (up to June 30, 2010).

This project aims to subsidize about 22,500 insurance packages over 5 years.

GPOBA funding will support widening access to quality healthcare in Nigeria for selected target groups by providing a subsidy for enrollment in the pre-paid health scheme and actual delivery of satisfactory health service.
