卫生筹资是可持续提供卫生保健的核心必要条件。在中低收入国家，特别是在非洲，由于财政限制而造成的获取机会不平等，严重影响了这些地区的发病率和卫生统计数字。本文侧重于国家健康保险覆盖在尼日利亚作为一种资金媒介的作用，强调健康保险的理论前提，其驱动力，主要利益和主要限制，特别是在审查下的国家。重点是它对卫生不平等这一紧迫的公共卫生问题的总体影响。
Health financing is a core necessity for sustainable healthcare delivery. Access inequalities due to financial restrictions in low-middle income countries, and in Africa especially, significantly affect disease rates and health statistics in these regions. This paper focuses on the role of a national health insurance cover as a funding medium in Nigeria, highlighting the theoretical premise of health insurance, its driving forces, key benefits and key limitations particular to the country under scrutiny. Emphasis is laid on its overall effect on the pressing public health issue of health inequality.
