The Lagos State Health Management Agency (LASHMA) has commended the Health Facility Monitoring and Accreditation Agency (HEFAMAA) for its exemplary compliance with the Executive Order mandating enrollment in the state's health insurance scheme. This praise came during a compliance visit to HEFAMAA, one of the MDAs scheduled for assessment under the Lagos State Health Insurance Scheme enforcement exercise.
Enforcement Team's Assessment
Leading the enforcement team, Mr. Akinlolu Akinpelumi applauded HEFAMAA's proactive measures in educating staff and clients about the scheme's significance and ensuring their enrollment. He noted, "Based on our assessment, I can confidently say that HEFAMAA has performed exceptionally well in complying with Governor Babajide Olushola Sanwo-Olu's Executive Order aimed at covering all residents under the scheme. The Agency scored nothing less than one hundred percent. We expect even better performance before our next visit."
HEFAMAA's Commitment
In response, the Executive Secretary of HEFAMAA, Dr. Victoria Egunjobi, expressed satisfaction with the rating and pledged to sustain and improve efforts. She stated, "As a medical professional, I understand the invaluable role of the Lagos State Social Health Insurance Scheme. Its importance cannot be overstated. As a key player in the health sector, we are dedicated to continuous enlightenment to ensure everyone understands why enrollment is mandatory."
This recognition highlights the collaborative effort between LASHMA and HEFAMAA to achieve universal health coverage in Lagos State.
