MTN Y’ello Health
MTN in Nigeria initiated a program together with Nigeria’s National Health
Insurance Scheme (NHIS) to provide affordable healthcare to its subscribers in
the country.
Called MTN Y’ello Health, the mobile service provider created an all-inclusive
health insurance scheme that will allow subscribers to gain access to pre-
defined treatments as well as selecting their own Health Maintenance
Organisation (HMO) and healthcare provider.
“At MTN, we believe that health insurance contributes to removing the
financial barriers to healthcare, thereby giving people unrestricted access to
good healthcare without having to pay out-of-pocket. More than bringing
flexibility and ease to paying for health care service, health insurance is also
a means of providing greater access to healthcare for larger segments of a
population. Indeed we believe health insurance is imperative for closing the
gap between the availability of health care service and the ability of the
citizenry to access it”
Mr Michael Ikpoki,MTN Nigeria Country Manager
