The National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA) has announced a review in service tariffs.

The Authority in a statement released on Tuesday, January 31, 2023 said that a surge in medicinal products as well as medical services has become necessary due to the increase in Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs).

While non-framework medicines will be increased by 20%, there will also be a 10% increase of service tariffs across board.

The statement also indicated that medications like Artemether Injection 80mg/ml and Levofloxacin Infusion 500mg/ml will now be part of the list of medicines of the NHIA and will be reimbursed by the National Health Insurance Scheme.
