The Nigerian Medical Association [NMA], the National Association of Resident Doctors [NARD] and the National Association of Nigerian Nurses and Midwives [NANNM] have again called on the government to immediately put in place life insurance policy for their members across the country.
This, they said, would further motivate their members on the front line of tackling the raging disease, given the hazards they are exposed to on duty.
The heads of the three medical associations, who spoke on behalf of their members on Friday, said though the Federal Government had consistently muted the idea of life insurance for health workers, the implementation was belated. They noted however that there was no better time to put the policy in place than now.
While the Federal Government had made promises, states have largely kept mute on the issue of life insurance for the health workers.
Speaking on this, the President of the NMA, Dr Francis Faduyile, stated that life insurance for workers was belated. He added that the country needed motivated workers who knew that their dependants would be catered for if anything happened to them in the course of discharging their duties.
He said,
“I don’t think it’s now that they should be talking about this. I think it’s belated. If we have been facing COVID-19 for seven weeks and you are talking of insurance now, that is gross injustice and it shows the nonchalant attitude that the government has.
“It also shows their disdain for health workers. I heard the chairman of the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 and SGF saying he was surprised with the state of our health sector, when we have been talking about the rot over the years. It is really unfortunate. How then would they know that it is urgent to have better insurance for health workers?”

Superb website you have here but I was wanting
to know if you knew of any message boards that cover the same topics talked about here?
I’d really like to be a part of group where I can get responses from other experienced people that
share the same interest. If you have any suggestions, please let me know.
Thanks a lot!

You actually make it seem so easy with your presentation but
I find this matter to be really something that I think I would never understand.
It seems too complicated and extremely broad for me. I am looking forward for your next post, I’ll try to get the hang
of it!
