Redcare Health Services, a Health
Management Organisation (HMO) has announced plans to deploy new technologies
that will ease communications and service delivery between health service
providers and community members as a way of improving access to Health
Insurance across the country.
This, as disclosed by the HMO's
managing director, Babatunde Salako, recently would rely on investments in
their new office building, Information Technology systems, integrated telephone
and call centre services as well as technical and professional staff team.
Adeola also noted that their
effort would help in ensuring that more Nigerians are saved needless deaths
because of their inability to pay for health services.
Speaking during the unveiling of
the firm's new office complex in Lagos, Salako said, "Since the
establishment of the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) under Act 35 of
1999 by the Obasanjo administration, I have observed that the Health Insurance
Business has grown tremendously throughout the country and have been embraced
by not only those that were initially skeptical about it, but also by public
institutions, private individuals as well as corporate entities."
"I am also excited that the
Insurance Scheme has also been brought to the rural communities. We are
committed to pursuing excellence in healthcare service delivery and pioneering
the use of technology for health care management in Nigeria," he added.
Redcare's Managing Director, Dr.
Babatunde Salako, who threw more light on the use of technology to advance
access to health services through health insurance as being employed by the HMO
said, "Our strategic vision of impacting the communities we serve as the
preferred HMO to enrollees, hospitals and partner organisations underpin all we
do as a HMO within the community.
"We are very well positioned
to partner with the National Health Insurance Service for the provision of
universal health coverage for all under the government agenda for healthcare in
the country."
