KADCHMA plans to achieve universal health coverage by 2030 in Kaduna
The Kaduna State Contributory Health Management Authority (KADCHMA) says it is committed to achieving universal health coverage by 2030.
KADCHMA director-general Abubakar Hassan said this on Wednesday in Zaria at a two-day media engagement workshop on the state’s contributory health scheme.
Mr Hassan said, ”Achieving UCH by 2030 can be realised if we get it right in 2024. We are strongly determined to achieve this through a myriad of initiatives. For example, we have introduced the produce-for-health programme, where farmers can enrol with only a paltry N10,650 as premium.
”The same goes for various artisans and other low-income earners so everybody can come on board and have access to affordable healthcare.”
He lamented the spike in out-of-pocket expenses by Nigerians seeking proper medical care, saying, ” It is pushing many of the citizens into poverty.”
KADCHMA was established in 2018 with the mandate of providing access to basic, quality and affordable healthcare to all the residents of the state towards achieving UCH.
