NHIS House Hearing: Executive Secretary Blames HMOs For His Travails

The Executive Secretary of the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS), Prof. Usman Yusuf, a few minutes ago testified at the ongoing House of Representatives public hearing on the crisis currently rocking the Scheme.

Prof Yusuf submitted that his misunderstanding with the governing council of the NHIS was due to his attempt to sanitize the Scheme.

“HMO cartels are behind all these issues at the NHIS, they are untouchable and they are behind threats to my life and security,” said the Executive Secretary at the ongoing House hearing.

The HMOs (Health Maintenance Organisations) are responsible for paying hospitals for services rendered to enrolees of the Scheme on behalf of the NHIS.
