Many great things have been accomplished at Thebe Health, and one of these has been the
\nexpansion of Thebe Nigeria HMO (Health Maintenance Organisation). This is a very exciting venture
\nthat promises to grow into an enormous branch.<\/p>\n
It was always on the cards to expand Thebe Health into other African countries; it was just a matter
\nof where and how. But when a Nigerian doctor made contact, seeking medical insurance partners, a
\nplan started to come together. Research, field tests and studies were conducted since 2014, and
\nfinally, at the end of 2016, Thebe Nigeria started to sign up clients.<\/p>\n
Expanding to Nigeria is a great choice as the country has over 150 million people and about 200
\nsmall medical insurers, but only about 8 million people are covered. In addition to these numbers,
\nthe provided medical covers and services are limited and, at times, uninformed. The idea behind
\nThebe Nigeria HMO is to not only provide a better health scheme and cover options to individuals
\nand businesses but also to provide basic health education.<\/p>\n
Hence, the expertise of Thebe Wellness Services was called on. In a nutshell, Thebe Wellness
\nServices takes a holistic approach to healthcare and offers various supporting products to enrich the
\noverall benefit of health insurance. They provide enhanced solutions to serve their clients\u2019
\nhealthcare needs better.<\/p>\n
Thebe Wellness Services will enable Thebe Nigeria to offer office health days, basic healthcare and
\npreventative care information and assistance, and biometric systems.<\/p>\n
Therefore, companies can see what the overall health status of their employees are and take the
\nrequired safety measures to manage and control the risks of their workforce. As Thebe Nigeria also
\ncomes with Thebe Health\u2019s medical insurance structure and knowledge, they can offer far more
\ncomprehensive packages than the smaller schemes.<\/p>\n
Thebe Nigeria also makes health advice more accessible. They have a walk-in front office in Lagos,
\napproved contract service providers as well as virtual and telephonic assistant centres. Hence,
\nwherever members are, as long as they can make contact, they can receive healthcare.<\/p>\n
Once the crucial health issues have been identified, Thebe Nigeria can work with the individuals
\n(whilst keeping it confidential from the employer) to improve and manage their ailments, such as
\ndiabetes.<\/p>\n
Through the biometric system, individual cases will be able to be monitored more effectively,
\nmeaning every patient will receive a notification with regard to their medical needs (taking their
\ndaily pill or refilling a subscription). What is even more exciting, should a patient not comply with the
\ngiven medical care or guidelines, the system can block them and send a notification to HR.<\/p>\n
The possibilities Thebe Nigeria is exposed to are endless, which makes this venture, although
\ndifficult, incredibly stimulating. Keep an eye out to see how Thebe Nigeria grows from strength to
\nstrength.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
