On May 22, 2019, two key health reform bills secured concurrence by Nigeria’s House of Representatives, the final step before the bills move forward for presidential authorization. The Federal Capital Territory’s (FCT’s) State Health Insurance and Primary Health Care Board bills, which were passed last month by Nigeria’s Senate, promise to improve access to primary healthcare and relieve financial barriers, particularly among the poor. Once signed into law, the bills will allow the FCT to access the country’s Basic Health Care Provision Fund—a national- and state-level mechanism that aims to extend health insurance coverage and provide a range of free services to the country’s most vulnerable groups.
