I am excited because being a Millennium Fellow will foster and enhance my creativity, ingenuity, and
leadership abilities, all of which will make me a better volunteer." "
Millennium Fellowship Project: Project Hinsure
In Nigeria like several other African nations, access to quality healthcare is a huge challenge. The inability of a large percentage of citizens to access health care is multifactorial. Among these factors is the endemic poverty that scares citizens away from seeking healthcare early. Usually, this leads to the presentation of patients at the medical facilities mostly when the disease is in an advanced state. Elsewhere, the use of health insurance has proven to help in addressing some of these challenges. Recently, the Nigerian President signed into law the National Health Insurance Authority Bill to build on the success that has earlier been recorded through the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS). As young change-makers who understand the important role that health insurance plays in health care delivery, I along with other Millennium Fellows of my cohort would be engaging the members of our community, and relevant stakeholders. Our goals include
1. Shift in the knowledge of Health Insurance (To be assessed through a survey) reaching a minimum of 2,500 people.
2. Increased knowledge base on how to access the National Health Insurance Scheme for the University of Ibadan (To be accessed by the number of people that engage the post).
3. Increase the Health Insurance enrollment rate among the members of the benefitting community ( To be measured by the number of people that finally enrol into the Health insurance scheme during the awareness programs).
