The Nigerian
Entertainment Industry Health Insurance Convention is designed as a
customized learning and education platform for the practitioners of the
entertainment industry and invariably members of the public at large to
understand the importance of health insurance and at the same time embrace it.
The convention seeks to create special insurance covers and
policies for the practitioners of the entertainment industry. Also, to
illuminate complex issues of health care practice and policy by bringing
together leading-edge doers and thinkers - from operations to academia, from
clinical practice to corporate
management.
The convention delineates perspectives of stakeholders throughout the
healthcare community in addressing broad issues and the type of health
insurance to go for.
Some of topics to be discussed at the convention are; The
health implications of celebrity life styles, Benefits of Health Insurance
Policies, Health Insurance Policy …at what cost?, The health insurance
policy…how dependable? and The Role of Government in Health Insurance Policies
The convention is presented by Nigerian Entertainment
Industry Lecture Series (NEILS) and is in partnership with National Health
Insurance Scheme (NHIS), Lagos State Ministry of Health and Nigeria Medical
Association. It is billed to hold on July 22nd, 2014 at the Grand Ball Room of
Eko Hotel & Suites in Lagos.
It is absolutely very sad seeing our entertainers beg for
money from fans and government alike when they are down with life threatening
ailments. Other professionals suffer similar fates and sometimes they cannot
afford treatment but they seldom embark on aggressive media campaigns of such
magnitudes like their entertainment counterparts. This has however resulted to
a big shame and public ridicule.
