THE Lagos State Health Management Agency (LASHMA) will on Wednesday, February 15, 2023, commence the enrolment of vulnerable persons in the Alimosho LGA, who cannot afford to pay for the ILERA EKO premium package and other Lagos residents who cannot afford to pay for their ILERA EKO health insurance premiums.
A statement signed by the General Manager of LASHMA, Dr Emmanuella Zamba, said that the registration and enrolment of the vulnerable will also take place throughout the 57 Local Government and Local Council Development Areas in the State, in a bid to ensure that vulnerable persons equally have access to quality healthcare.
Dr Zamba said that the Agency will hold its Year 2023 EKO Social Health Alliance (EKOSHA) enrolment of the vulnerable and indigent at the Egbe-Idimu LCDA of Alimosho LGA.
She reiterated that the ILERA EKO premium for Standard Plan (individual) is #8,500 per annum and for the family plan consisting of six members – father, mother, and four children below 23 years, is #40,000 per annum.
Dr Zamba added that those who cannot afford to pay the premium at once also have the opportunity to pay by instalment and access care with #1,000 monthly for the individual plan after an initial payment of #3,000.
“Enrollees for the family plan can access care with #3,500 monthly after the payment of #10,500 at the first instance,” she declared.
Stressing that senior citizens can also enrol with #34,000 per annum on ILERA EKO while the couple plan is #65,000 per annum, the General Manager also stated that free medical screening and eyeglasses will be given to residents and LASHMA will also organise raffle draws at each event where various gifts will be won.
