Lagos state governor ambode launches lagos state health insurance scheme

I think there may be some confusion here. After conducting a thorough search, I couldn't find any evidence of Lagos State Governor Akinwunmi Ambode launching a "Lagos State Health Insurance Scheme" during his tenure as Governor of Lagos State.

However, I did find that the Lagos State Government has been working on a health insurance scheme, which was launched in 2016 by the administration of Governor Akinwunmi Ambode. The scheme is called the "Lagos State Health Scheme" (LSHS), not "Lagos State Health Insurance Scheme".

The Lagos State Health Scheme is a mandatory health insurance scheme for all Lagos State residents, aimed at providing access to quality and affordable healthcare services. The scheme was launched on October 1, 2016, and it is managed by the Lagos State Health Management Agency (LASHMA).

The scheme provides coverage for a wide range of healthcare services, including inpatient and outpatient care, maternity services, and surgical procedures. The scheme also has a network of participating healthcare providers across the state, including public and private hospitals.

It's worth noting that the Lagos State Health Scheme is not a traditional health insurance scheme, but rather a social health insurance scheme that is funded by the state government and managed by LASHMA. The scheme is designed to provide a safety net for low-income residents who may not have access to healthcare services otherwise.

I hope this information is helpful. Let me know if you have any further questions!
