摘要
This study determined the obstetric benefits and compared the obstetric indices and pregnancy outcome of enrollees and non-enrollees of the national health insurance scheme (NHIS). A prospective cohort study of enrollees and non-enrollees of NHIS was conducted over 2years. Data was analysed with Epi-info statistical software. Malaria (25.3% versus 8.0%, p value 0.001), anaemia (11.3% versus 3.3%, p value 0.0001), preterm delivery (8.0% versus 2.7% p value=0.00001), antenatal default rate (22.7% versus 6.7%, p value=0.0001) and maternal death (2.7% versus 0.7%, p value=0.00001) were higher in the non-insured. Singleton low birth weight (9.3% versus 2.7%, p value=0.00001) and new born admission (10.7% versus 4.7%, p value=0.00001) were also more in non-enrollee, with higher perinatal deaths (6.7% versus 2.0%, p value=0.00001). Women managed under the Nigerian NHIS scheme had better maternal and perinatal indices, therefore, effort should be scaled up to ensure universal health insurance coverage for all parturient and their newborn.
