One of such policies is the establishment of a Health Insurance Scheme, a framework for the provision of affordable and efficient Health care system in the country.

It became apparent that government alone could no longerfund the health system, hence recourse to alternative funding mechanisms, leading to the emergence of a health insurance scheme in the country. This paper examines the health insurance scheme in Nigeria and also quantitative-descriptive method of data collection and analysis from the various scholars was used. The paper further recommends that the scheme should be expanded to ensure that basic health needs of all citizens, irrespective of their social class and status is met.
