Nigerian Entertainment Industry To Hold First Health Insurance Convention

    The awareness and knowledge of health insurance among the
    practitioners of the Nigerian entertainment industry has become imperative. Due
    to the absence of it, the industry has lost several of its well loved musicians
    and actors to dreadful sicknesses like renal failure, fatal accidents and other
    vices while trying to raise funds. This has however necessitated the need for a
    well structured health insurance policy and cover for the entertainment
    industry.
    The Nigerian
    Entertainment Industry Health Insurance Convention is designed as a customized
    learning and education platform for the practitioners of the entertainment
    industry and invariably members of the public at large to understand the
    importance of health insurance and at the same time embrace it.

    The convention seeks to create special
    insurance covers and policies for the practitioners of the entertainment
    industry. Also, to illuminate complex issues of health care practice and policy
    by bringing together leading-edge doers and thinkers – from operations to
    academia, from clinical practice to corporate management.  The convention delineates perspectives of
    stakeholders throughout the healthcare community in addressing broad issues and
    the type of health insurance to go for.

    Some of topics to be discussed at the convention are; The
    health implications of celebrity life styles, Benefits of Health Insurance
    Policies, Health Insurance Policy …at what cost?, The health insurance
    policy…how dependable? and The Role of Government in Health Insurance Policies
    The convention is presented by Nigerian Entertainment
    Industry Lecture Series (NEILS) and is in partnership with National Health
    Insurance Scheme (NHIS), Lagos State Ministry of Health and Nigeria Medical
    Association. It is billed to hold on July 22nd, 2014 at the Grand Ball Room of
    Eko Hotel & Suites in Lagos.
    It is absolutely very sad seeing our entertainers beg for
    money from fans and government alike when they are down with life threatening
    ailments. Other professionals suffer similar fates and sometimes they cannot
    afford treatment but they seldom embark on aggressive media campaigns of such
    magnitudes like their entertainment counterparts. This has however resulted to
    a big shame and public ridicule.
