Tertiary Institutions Social Health Insurance Program (TISHIP)

The Tertiary Institutions Social Health Insurance Programme (TISHIP) is a social security system whereby the health care of students in tertiary institutions is paid for from funds pooled through the contributions of students. It is a programme committed to ensuring access to qualitative healthcare service for students of tertiary institutions thereby promoting the health of students with a view to creating conducive learning environment. Tertiary institutions are categorized as Universities, Polytechnics, Colleges of Education, Colleges of Agriculture, Monotechnics, Schools of Nursing, Midwifery, Health Technology and other Specialized Institutions.
TISHIP caters for the health care needs of Nigerian students in tertiary institutions who due to their studentship status cannot benefit under other health insurance programmes. By virtue of their age and their status as students, most of them cannot benefit from the public sector programme as enrolees or dependents of enrolees. This necessitates a programme designed to meet their needs.
In the bid to achieving universal health coverage for all citizens of the country, Precious HMO partners with Tertiary institution to ensure that the health and well-being of this critical population creates a conducive learning environment.

State Supported Health Insurance Program (SSHIP)

It has become obvious that to achieve the Universal Health Coverage in Nigeria, the State Governments must be encouraged to run State Supported Health Insurance Schemes. With establishments of State Agencies of Health
Insurance, control at the national level will be decentralised and the scheme will be closer to the people in rural communities, local government councils and state civil service.
