The first was an attempt to introduce a health insurance system in Enugu, and an attempt to consider the introduction of a health insurance system in Nigeria. What are the bright future interests? A description of the problem was considered because the important contribution of an effective and efficient national health insurance system in Enugu was not understood. Additionally, some previously written material on this topic has been reviewed for updates on this project.
