MTN Nigeria, NHIS, develop mobile health insurance

MTN Nigeria has teamed up with Nigerian National Health Insurance Scheme and Salt & Einstein MTS, a mobile insurance services aggregator, to develop a mobile-based universal health insurance service known as Y'ello Health, the Punch reported. The service will seek to provide affordable health insurance cover on a pre-paid basis. Through the Y'ello Health, mobile subscribers will be able to opt into a micro healthcare insurance scheme with Health Management Organisations using their mobile phones for a range of pre-defined medical treatments for which affordable premium could also be remitted through their mobile phone. MTN Nigeria CMO Larry Annetts said the focus market for the Y'ello Health cover are Nigerians who have no health Insurance because they cannot afford the regular health insurance services in the market.
