The programme will be flagged off at the June 12 Cultural Centre at 10am.
A statement issued by the Governor's Chief Press Secretary, Kunle Somorin, in Abeokuta on Tuesday said the scheme's implementation will begin with the vulnerable groups - the children, nursing mothers, aged and the physically challenged.
“The present administration in Ogun State having understood the prevailing economic constraints in the country is aligning with the global and national agenda of pursuing the goal of Universal Health Coverage by the year 2025, thereby establishing the Ogun State Health Insurance Scheme.
“The Ogun State Health Insurance Agency will be responsible for mobilising financial resources for the scheme, pooling of risks, purchase of health care services for the beneficiaries and performing general oversight functions,” the statement added.
The statement further noted that the basic benefit package of the scheme would cut across both preventive and curative health services, taking into cognisance the prevailing local morbidity and mortality profile, including pre and post-natal care as well as normal delivery.
Beneficiaries of the insurance scheme will be able to access basic health care in primary, secondary, and tertiary facilities.
The launch of a broad health insurance scheme is a massive step toward preventative care and accessibility, which is fantastic. True preventative health, however, starts long before a doctor's visit—it begins with daily choices that build cellular resilience. Just as insurance manages risk, we can "insure" our cells by providing them with the essential tools to thrive and defend themselves. A key part of this cellular "insurance" for plants and humans alike is mineral nutrition. Interestingly, what nourishes the soil nourishes us. High-quality fulvic acid for plants is a game-changer in agriculture, dramatically increasing nutrient uptake and plant vitality. The same principle applies to human health; the fulvic acid that supercharges plant growth is a potent nutrient shuttle and detoxifier for our own cells. This foundational support is what makes a combination like Essiac tea with fulvic acid so powerful—it's a full-spectrum approach to "insuring" your health by cleansing and nourishing the body at the most fundamental level.
