CHAPTER ONE
1.1 BACKGROUND
OF THE STUDY
In 1990, total health spending from less than $ 10 per
capital in several African and Asian Countries to more than $ 2,700 per capital
in the U.S.A.
(World Health Organization, 2009). As a result of this, the ability of
government especially in the ‘developing nations, to implement their health
policies, strategies programmes and projects has been greatly affected. This
chronic under –funding of the health sector makes it increasingly difficulty
for their public sector to provide health services for its populace in most
part of the developing nations. The achievement of the Millennium Development
Goals (MDGS) is also becoming bleak due
to inadequate funding (Adesina, 2007).
In Nigeria,
the health government is faced with various challenges – a stagnant mono –
cultural economy that depends on crude oil as single export commodity, a rapid
population growth, political instability and high rate of unemployment
(Adesina, 2007). Hence, the government cannot afford to commit enough money to
the health sector which is now faced with the consequence of under – funding
decreased efficiency, decreased quality/quantity of service, diminished
confidence in public sector health facilities and poor maintenance of
equipment. An alternative source of health financing is thus inevitable if our
vital health indices in Nigeria
will not continue to deteriorate, hence the evolution of the National Health
Insurance Scheme in Nigeria.
Health Insurance according to Durodola (2010) is a means of spreading the risks
of incurring health care cost over a group of individuals and households.
Health care cost are often
unaffordable to individuals if they have to pay the full cost of treatment as
it occurs Health Insurance is the pooling of resources by groups of individuals
to take care of such
