Administrative perspectives on the implementation and sustainability of state-supported health insurance schemes in Nigeria: a descriptive qualitative study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Since the state-supported health insurance schemes (SSHIS) began in Nigeria, the perspectives of implementers and other administrative actors have been under-documented in the program evaluations. Bridging this information gap is crucial to addressing the challenges impeding the scheme's impact. This study, therefore, investigated the administrative stakeholders' perspective on the implementation and sustainability of the SSHIS in Nigeria.

Methods

This study adopted a descriptive qualitative case study design and was conducted in six Nigerian states with functional SSHIS, each representing one of the country's six geo-political zones: Cross River (South-South), Enugu (South-East), Oyo (Southwest), Kwara (North-Central), Sokoto (Northwest) and Taraba (Northeast).
