Dr  Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO Director-General On 7 April, World Health Day, the World Health Organisation marks its 70th anniversary. Over the past 7 decades. WHO has spearheaded efforts to rid the world of killer diseases like small pox, and to fight against deadly habits like tobacco use.   This year, World Health Day is dedicated to one of WHO’s founding principles: “The enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of health is one of the fundamental rights of every human being without distinction of race, religion, political belief, economic or social condition.” “Good health is the most precious thing anyone can have,” says Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO Director-General. “ When people are healthy, they can learn, work, and support themselves and their families.

As important and beneficial as health insurance is, it is sad to find that the level of penetration in Nigeria is still less than 5%. It appears that the major reason for this is ignorance. Many Nigerians have never heard about health insurance, have no idea how it works – let alone its benefits – and therefore have not made any attempt to purchase it for themselves or their families. Here are the Top 7 reasons why you should have health insurance: #1: You’re Protected When You Need Urgent And Unexpected Medical Attention Sickness and injuries do not always give advance notice. With a health insurance policy in place it is comforting to know that you can have access to good quality medical care when you fall ill unexpectedly, or when you’re injured in an accident and require urgent medical attention. Especially if this happens at a time when you’re not financially buoyant or in a position to be able to pay your hospital bill from your pocket. #2: You Have Access To Better

The sixth edition of the Africa CEO Forum opened on Monday 26 March under the banner of " African champions: it's transformation time". This major meeting of Africa's private sector, organised by  Jeune Afrique Media Group and  Rainbow Unlimited , brought together three African presidents, namely  Alassane Ouattara  of Côte d'Ivoire and his counterparts  Emmerson Mnangagwa  of Zimbabwe and Ghana's  Nana Akufo-Addo . With around 1,600 high-level delegates from over 60 countries, the 2018 Africa CEO Forum strives to encourage participants to implement action plans that foster the transformation of the continent's major companies. In his opening speech,  Amir Ben Yahmed , President and Founder of the Forum, indicated that this edition would place the accent on "transformation" because, in his opinion, emergence is not possible without undergoing a transformation, which is one of Africa's biggest weaknesses. To remedy this, the for

  In   this 70th anniversary year, the World Health Organization is calling on world leaders to live up to the pledges they made when they agreed the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in 2015, and commit to concrete steps to advance universal health coverage (UHC). This means ensuring that everyone, everywhere can access essential quality health services without facing financial hardship by 2030 (SDG3.8). Today, too many people still miss out on health coverage and financial protection At least half the world’s people don't receive the essential health services they need. About 100 million people are being pushed into extreme poverty (<$1.90 a day) because of   payments for health services. Over 800 million people (almost 12 percent of the world’s population) spend at least 10 percent of their household budgets on health expenses for themselves, a sick child or other family member. People are missing out on health coverage and financial protection while th
