FUTH Lafia increases clinic access for health insurance enrollees
The Federal University Teaching Hospital (FUTH), Lafia, has increased clinic access for all Health Insurance enrollees in a bid to enhance patient experience and reduce waiting times.
The is contained in a statement signed by Mrs Ruth Namo, Public Relations Officer (PRO) of the hospital, and made available to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Sunday in Lafia.
Ruth said that before now, insured patients were only accessing primary healthcare services at the FUTH annex, located in Millionaires Quarters, Lafia, thereby leading to a lot of delay and congestion.
The PRO said that the enrollees can now receive primary healthcare services at both the FUTH Annex and the main hospital complex on Shendam Road.
She said that the move was meant to ease congestion and ensure more timely medical attention for enrollees.
“The clinic at the main facility will operate on the following schedule; weekdays: 3:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., while weekends: 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.

The PRO said the initiative was aimed at reinforcing the hospital’s commitment to improving service delivery and ensuring quality healthcare for all insurance enrollees.
